Cannes 2019: Netflix films will reportedly not premiere at film festival for second consecutive year
FirstpostMartin Scorsese’s The Irishman, Steven Soderbergh’s The Laundromat and Noah Baumbach’s yet-untitled film are all set to miss Cannes 2019. The Cannes-Netflix dispute continues as it looks like the streaming giant won’t be a part of this year’s edition of the prestigious film festival either, according to a Variety report. Netflix chief content officer Ted Sarandos and head of original films Scott Stuber and Cannes artistic director Thierry Fremaux reportedly even had dinner together over a week ago in Los Angeles. Netflix pulled its films from last year’s festival after Cannes banned any films without theatrical distribution in France from its Palme d’Or competition. Cannes missed out on films like Alfonso Cuaron’s Roma, Paul Greengrass’ 22 July, Jeremy Saulnier’s Hold the Dark and Orson Welles’ final unfinished film The Other Side of the Wind last year.
