The flurry of casting, distribution, and direction news has begun with Cannes 2016 already off to the races, beginning with the recent openings screening of Woody Allen's latest film, Cafe Society. The day started off with excellent, exciting news that Sony Pictures Classics will indeed be taking stateside distribution rights to Paul Verhoeven's impossibly promising Elle, featuring Isabelle Huppert in the titular role. That, however, has begun the avalanche of fantastic news for auteur-friendly cinephiles, including this promising bit of casting involving the regularly evocative Colin Farrell.
