The annual Cannes Film Festival and Market returns to France on May 11, so we’re beginning to learn about the films that different sales outfits are bringing along with them. We’re of course only really interested in the genre fare, and genre films are what Devilworks is all about. We’ve got info on their Cannes slate, so read on!
Per Screen Daily, the genre sales outfit will introduce four titles to the Market this year, including Dennis Ho’s feature debut, A Better Place (pictured below). The film tells the story of a young man who uses his abnormal regenerative powers to heal people, despite the cost to himself.
Also on the slate is Jennifer Liao’s debut feature, the comic thriller End of Days, Inc., which follows a group of laid-off employees who discover that processing the last of their inventory will lead to catastrophic consequences.
Devilworks has picked up world rights to Massimo Natale’s Double Crossing (Il Traduttore), which stars The Passion of the Christ actor Claudia Gerini alongside Kamil Kula in the story of a young student who becomes entangled in a passionate affair with an older woman.
The final new film on the company’s Cannes roster is Sacred Heart, produced and directed by Kosta Nikas, which stars Chopper actor David Field in the tale of a man who receives a visit from the devil after losing his wife and child.
