\n

\n\tAfter a sluggish opening week that left many sellers staring at their phones, the Cannes Film Market found something like a second wind in its final days, with a flurry of high-profile acquisitions injecting some much-needed energy into what had been a cautious, defensive March\u00e9.<\/p>\n

\n\tThe late surge was headlined by two deals that had been quietly percolating on the Croisette. Netflix moved to acquire the animated feature In Waves<\/em>, while Warner Bros.\u2019 nascent specialty label Clockworks entered exclusive negotiations to take Park Chan-wook\u2018s upcoming revenge Western The Brigands of Rattlecreek<\/em> \u2014 a project that had been flagged by The Hollywood Reporter<\/em> as one of the market\u2019s most coveted packages before the first screening had even unspooled.<\/p>\n

\n\tNetflix took worldwide rights outside of France for In Waves<\/em>, which opened Cannes Critics\u2019 Week. The hand-drawn French animated feature, from Franco-Vietnamese director Phuong Mai Nguyen, is an adaptation of the graphic novel by AJ Dungo and is a love story set in L.A. between AJ, a shy, skateboard and art-loving teen, and Kristen, a surfer girl. Will Sharpe and Stephanie Hsu voice the English-language version. Charades is handling sales.<\/p>\n

\n\tThe Brigands of Rattlecreek<\/em>, the next feature from Cannes 2026 Jury President Park, is set to star Matthew McConaughey, Austin Butler, Pedro Pascal and Tang Wei and has been a long-gestating passion project for the Oldboy<\/em> and Decision to Leave<\/em> director.<\/p>\n

\n\tThe Park acquisition, if it closes, would mark a significant early statement of intent for Clockworks, the newly minted Warner Bros. division still establishing its identity.<\/p>\n

\n\tThe deals followed A24\u2019s big buy of Cannes, taking worldwide rights to Jordan Firstman\u2019s crowd-pleaser Club Kid<\/em> for a reported $17 million following a bidding war of the kind Cannes once reliably produced but has struggled to replicate in recent years. UTA and Charades handled sales.<\/p>\n

\n\tAmazon also added heat to the March\u00e9, picking up Pumping Black<\/em>, another THR<\/em> Hot List title. The package, from Fresh<\/em> director Mimi Cave, stars Jonathan Bailey and Natalie Portman in a psychological thriller set in the world of competitive cycling. Amazon picked up the majority of international rights. CAA Media<\/a> Finance and Anton are co-repping world rights.<\/p>\n

\n\tBut the strong finish for the Cannes Market only underscored the relative quiet that preceded it \u2014 this was a Cannes that needed a last-minute sprint to get marked down as a win. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n
