Close Protection
Director: Alice Winocour // Writer: Alice Winocour
Premiering her 2012 debut Augustine at Cannes Critics’ Week, which went on to be nominated for Best Debut at the Cesars, Alice Winocour makes a surprising jump from period piece to thriller with her second film, Close Protection (originally titled Maryland). Starring notable names like Schoenaerts and Diane Kruger will surely position a healthy international interest.

Cast: Matthias Schoenaerts, Diane Kruger
Producers: Dharamsala’s Isabelle Madelaine (Illégal) and Darius Films’ Emilie Tisné (Augustine).
U.S. Distributor: Rights Available
Release Date: While Winocour may very well tempt Cannes again, this sounds like genre fare that might have more luck straying into a less competitive realm. With filming set for December, we’ll see...
