, which was awarded the Cannes’ Critics’ Week label in 2020 and which is at long last hitting French cinemas on 16 June via The Jokers, before being released by Netflix in the rest of the world). Wild Bunch will also head up international sales (pre-purchases, remake rights) on a selection of projects developed by the Wild West label, which will cover the full spectrum of genre films (horror, fantasy, science-fiction, crime thrillers, other thrillers, superhero films, etc.).

Stealing focus among these works in progress is Les mains d’Orlac by Dominique Baumard, which is a new remake of Maurice Renard’s novel, a horror classic previously transposed to the big screen by Robert Wiene in 1924, Karl Freund in 1935 (starring Peter Lorre) and by Edmond T. Greville in 1960 (with Christopher Lee and Mel Ferrer heading up the cast).
