We’ve stuck to our criteria that the project must already be in production and have not already been announced for a festival. More than 70% of our selections last year went on to debut at a major festival https://t.co/97PDmhm9DH pic.twitter.com/XglBid1OTY

Maria
Angelina Jolie plays legendary opera singer Maria Callas in Pablo Larrain’s biopic, exploring her tumultuous life and tragic story, via flashbacks during her final days in the 1970s Paris. The film, which was able to continue shooting during the strikes thanks to a SAG-AFTRA agreement, also features Pierfrancesco Favino (The Hummingbird), Alba Rohrwacher (La Chimera), Haluk Bilginer (Winter Sleep), Kodi Smit-McPhee (The Power of the Dog) and Valeria Golino (Portrait of a Lady on Fire) in the cast.
Without Blood
Angelina Jolie’s sixth feature is adapted from Alessandro Baricco’s eponymous short novel, set against the backdrop of an unspecified war and exploring themes of revenge and the destructive nature of conflict. Salma Hayek stars as woman who witnessed the murder of father and brother at the family farmhouse as child, and then years later crosses the path of one of the assailants who let her ago.
Wolfs
Scheduled for release in September, this George Clooney and Brad Pitt-starrer centers on two professional fixers who find themselves hired for the same job. Amy Ryan and Austin Abrams also star. Pic is for Apple TV+, with Sony Pictures distributing in theaters as it did with Napoleon.
