Leos Carax’s Annette (7.6.21, France) is an English-language musical set in Los Angeles that will feature original music from the ’70s rock band Sparks. It’s a love story about a stand-up comic (Adam Driver) and an opera star (Marion Cotillard). Completed in November 2019, pic will be told almost entirely through song, in classic rock opera tradition — all singing, all of the dialogue (or 95 % of it), “but in a way that’s stylistically true to Sparks’ sensibility, so if you can imagine that, Adam Driver doing Sparks, that’s what we have.”
