Disney and Pixar’s ‘Elemental’ hits Cannes’ Carlton Beach
The HinduElemental, Disney and Pixar’s upcoming release, closed the 76th International Cannes Film Festival on May 27 and the team descended on the iconic Carlton Beach. Director Peter Sohn, producer Denise Ream and Pete Docter joined English-language voice talent Leah Lewis and Mamoudou Athie, plus members of the French-language voice cast Adèle Exarchopoulos and Vincent Lacoste on the beach. The story introduces Ember, a tough, quick-witted and fiery young woman, whose friendship with a fun, sappy, go-with-the-flow guy named Wade challenges her beliefs about the world they live in. Directed by Peter Sohn, produced by Denise Ream, and executive produced by Pete Docter, Elemental features a screenplay by John Hoberg and Kat Likkel, and Brenda Hsueh with story by Sohn, Hoberg and Likkel, and Hsueh.
