Like competing Cinderella, Snow White and Pinocchio projects before… there are two “young Stalin” projects at Cannes this year — he obviously just entered the public domain.
Cosmo Jarvis will play Joseph Stalin in an upcoming biopic titled ‘YOUNG STALIN,’ based on the book by Simon Sebag Montefiore.
The film is financed by Access Entertainment, which backed ‘The Zone of Interest’ and ‘Conclave.’

This was an excellent script & I loved Mungiu’s RMN so very much looking forward to this!
Neon has acquired Fjord, the new film from Palme d’Or winner Cristian Mungiu.
It will star Sebastian Stan and Renate Reinsve.

Now Watching: Napoleon: Apple Cut
Unsurprisingly, restoring a large number of the interpersonal scenes between Napoleon & Josephine render this a much more coherent and compelling film. The hinted at themes (impotence) of the theatrical cut become text here and it's so much more interesting for it.
