Big screen drama & Sons has emerged as a hot topic from the Cannes Film Festival, as revealed by <\/span>Deadline<\/span><\/a>, with the English-language movie debut of Pablo Trapero creating plenty of buzz in the south of France.<\/span><\/p>\n Penned by the Oscar-winning Sarah Polley from David Gilbert\u2019s best-selling novel of the same name<\/a>, the talent involved in this one is almost <\/span>too <\/span><\/i>much \u2013 and there\u2019s more to come.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Rounding out the cast is A Quiet Place<\/a>\u2019s Noah Jupe, while the producers behind the BBC\u2019s lockdown saviour Staged<\/a> are behind the project. It\u2019s safe to say we\u2019re firmly on board.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n And that\u2019s before we get to the intriguing synopsis, which reads: \u201cAndrew is a novelist best known to the world as AN Dyer. He wrote his first book when he was 27 and it became an instant classic, selling 45m copies and creating a cult around its elusive author.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n \u201cAndrew wakes up one morning convinced that he is about to die. He knows that with his time on Earth dwindling, he needs to set right the major relationships of his life, and so he summons his sons to be with him.<\/span><\/p>\n \u201cIt\u2019s been almost 20 years since an \u2018incident\u2019 tore apart the Dyer home. An incident that has a name \u2013 Andy.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n Piqued your interest? Wait until you hear more about Andy. \u201cAndy\u2019s the reason his world-famous father, Andrew, no longer speaks to his adult-age sons, Richard and Jamie, nor to his ex-wife, Isabel,\u201d the synopsis continues.\u2028<\/span><\/p>\n \u201cHowever, when his sons arrive, laden with their own problems, Andrew does not seek their forgiveness, as they expected. Instead, he tells them something so wild it couldn\u2019t possibly be true. Or could it?\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n Cue the suspense.\u00a0<\/span><\/p> After becoming one of the most successful filmmakers in his native Argentina, & Sons sounds a suitably meaty English-language debut for Trapero to dig into, after he broke records at the box office with 2015\u2019s El Clan and picked up a Critics Prize at the 1999 Venice International Film Festival for his first feature, Mundo Gr\u00faa.<\/span><\/p>\n Speaking of the drama, he told Deadline: \u201c& Sons tells the story of a collection of people who are all flawed and trying to find peace with one another, although struggling to do so. The unexpected surreal twist makes things beautifully more complicated.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n \u201cThe sensational cast, that I am thrilled to be working with, is a dream come true. They are the perfect ensemble to tackle and elevate these characters in the most powerful way, honouring the equally potent writing from Sarah.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n The production schedule for this one is yet to be confirmed, as the team behind the project aim to secure sales deals before Cannes comes to a close at the end of next week.<\/span><\/p>\n![\"Noah](\"https:\/\/images.immediate.co.uk\/production\/volatile\/sites\/3\/2020\/10\/the_undoing_noah_jupe-287f2e8.jpg?quality=90&resize=620%2C413\" "\\"the_undoing_noah_jupe\\"\/")
