Tony Saint, known for writing and executive producing Apple TV+’s Emmy-winning “Tehran,” Sky’s“Das Boot” and Netflix’s “Lupin,” is working on a new action-thriller series, King’s Ransom. Based on an original idea by Chris Peppe (“The Flash,”“Nikita”), the show follows a hostage crisis at the world’s most elite Swiss boarding school where the students come from families that form the foundations of global power. According to the synopsis, the mercenaries “might be after much more than money.”“Working with such great partners, I’m so excited to bring ‘King’s Ransom’ to life,” said Saint. “It’s the kind of show I most love to write – a real thrill ride with big stakes, big characters, and big heart.” Benito Mueller and Wolfgang Mueller of Barry Films will executive produce alongside Clifford Werber, William Pfeiffer and Paul Presburger of Globalgate Entertainment; Manuela Noble and Mark Sandell of Wachafilm; and Sebastien Raybaud (“Fuze,”“Greenland: Migration”), Caroline Kusser and Serena Karp of Anton. “In partnership with Barry Films and Globalgate Entertainment and with Tony Saint as showrunner, King’s Ransom is a perfect fit for Anton’s mission to deliver high quality, premium entertainment for global audiences, with top notch IP, talent and partners,” said Anton CEO Raybaud. “We were immediately captivated by King’s Ransom, its setting, characters and story prospects, all of which have become all the more resonant and intriguing to global citizens and audiences. We’re ecstatic to be partnering with Anton, Barry Films and Wachafilm and guided by Tony Saint’s gifted and indelible writing,” said Globalgate. “The sort of show we love to watch, King’s Ransom delivers everything we look for in a project: ambition, urgency, and unforgettable characters,” added Barry Films. Commented Wachafilm: “After developing ‘King’s Ransom’ with Chris Peppe, now advancing it with showrunner Tony Saint marks a significant and exciting progression in its evolution. We are elated to be producing the series with Anton, Barry Films and Globalgate Entertainment all formidable producers whose vision, expertise and creative insight align seamlessly with the ambitious scope of the series.” by @barry_films

“Bonjour Tristesse” is the kind of atmospheric, visually lush summer vacation film that makes you want to melt into the frame. Durga Chew-Bose, a journalist and writer known for the 2017 book “Too Much and Not the Mood: Essays,” makes her directorial debut with the film. It’s a modernized adaptation of French writer Françoise Sagan’s 1954 novel, which was previously brought to the screen by Otto Preminger in 1958. For two of the cast members — Lily McInerny and Chloë Sevigny — the experience of filming in the rich landscape of Cassis, France wasn’t too dissimilar from the characters’ day-to-day lifestyle. “Chloë and I would spend the weekends on the beach, and I’d be going over my lines with an Aperol Spritz next to me,” said McInerny, who made her film debut in 2022’s “Palm Trees and Power Lines.” Knowing that the situation would spark Raymond’s jealousy. “Bonjour Tristesse” is set in the present day but pulls from vintage aesthetics. It “exists out of time” and taps into a “classic Hollywood or classic French New Wave” sensibility, Sevigny said. The film is also stylistically distinct in its pacing and deliberate rhythm — a quality that Sevigny notes can be tough for mainstream audiences. “If it was a French film or Rohmer or an Almodovar, you wouldn’t bump against it so much. You would give over to it more. That kind of pacing we’re used to in foreign filmmaking, so that someone attempted that in the English language is a little challenging for people,” Sevigny said. McInerny adds that the distinct style can be jarring in a contemporary film “where it certainly isn’t the status quo. It deviates from that quite confidently.” Below, McInerny and Sevigny tell Variety about bonding as co-stars, their characters’ relationship and their differing perspectives on the film’s main plot point.

Directed by Durga Chew-Bose
Drama, Romance - Rated R for budding female sexuality. In French and English, with subtitles. Running time: 1 hour 50 minutes. In theaters.

“She is imagining what she looks like to us as practice for when she wants to be seen,” a woman remarks early in “Bonjour Tristesse” of the teenage Cécile (Lily McInerny), whose mischievous experiment in womanhood is the subject of Durga Chew-Bose’s beguiling first film.

Adapted from Françoise Sagan’s 1954 novel, “Bonjour Tristesse” dips into a well once tapped by the prolific director Otto Preminger — a bold choice for a first-time filmmaker. But Chew-Bose makes a convincing case for the remake by showing, like Cécile, a keen awareness of how to direct a gaze.

The film follows Cécile, a teenager from the United States, over a summer on the French Riviera with her roguish father, Raymond (Claes Bang), and Elsa (Naïlia Harzoune), his summer fling. Lazing seaside, Cécile enjoys the couple’s company, but the serene scene frays upon the arrival of Anne (Chloë Sevigny), a refined family friend who undermines our protagonist’s status as the apple of daddy’s eye.

While Jean Seberg once imbued Cécile with girlish petulance, McInerny gives the role an electric charge of ambivalence. We see our protagonist study Elsa and Anne’s womanly powers with a blend of longing and trepidation. Here, more so than in Preminger’s adaptation, the absence of Cécile’s mother is made to feel tangible.

Chew-Bose directs her camera to elegantly glance off bodies, fabrics and seawater. She individualizes her characters through habits and gestures, like the different ways each woman eats her morning apple. A work of image and mood, “Bonjour Tristesse” captures the mythopoetic wonder of an adolescent summer, and the effect is trancelike. by @barry_films
