'Top of the Lake' - a TV show
“Top of the Lake” is one of the most anticipated television series of the month. The project is developed and written Jane Campion and Gerard Lee.

The filmmaker Garth Davis says that “Top of the Lake” is about a pregnant woman who faces various problems in her life. The cast of the series includes Elisabeth Moss, David Wenham, Nicole Kidman, Tom Wright, and Holly Hunter. This show will premiere at the 70th Cannes Film Festival.
'The Killing of a Sacred Deer' - an anticipated movie
“The Killing of a Sacred Deer” is one of the most anticipated movies of the year. Director Yorgos Lanthimos confirms that it will compete for the Palme d'Or in the main competition section at Cannes.
The script is written by Lanthimos and Efthymis Filippou, while Colin Farrell and Nicole Kidman play the main characters. The movie is scheduled to be released in the first week of November, and A24 acquires the US distribution rights. It is a story of a teenage boy who dreams of becoming a successful surgeon. Nicole says that she is looking forward to fans’ response.
'How to Talk to Girls at Parties' - a film by John Cameron
Another main Nicole Kidman film to be screened at Cannes is “How to Talk to Girls at Parties.” This British-American movie is directed and produced by John Cameron Mitchell. Philippa Goslett has penned the script and dialogues. The story is based on the novel of the same name by Neil Gaiman.
Elle Fanning, Alex Sharp, Nicole Kidman, Ruth Wilson, and Matt Lucas play the leading characters. Post-production of the movie is finished, and the filmmaker confirms its release this November. While speaking to The Hollywood Reporter, Nicole said that it’s a complete family film and she has played the main role opposite Neil Gaiman.
Sofia Coppola's thriller 'The Beguiled'
“The Beguiled” is one of the most anticipated movies of the year. This project is written, produced, and directed by Sofia Coppola. Its story is inspired by a novel of the same name by Thomas P. Cullinan. “The Beguiled” stars Colin Farrell, Nicole Kidman, Kirsten Dunst, and Elle Fanning. The movie will compete for a Cannes prize this year.
Upon its release in June, Focus Features will distribute the film worldwide. Tickets are being sold online. In addition, “You Were Never Really Here” and “Good Time" have been nominated for the Palme d'Or award.
