European film-TV group Studiocanal is teaming with Imperative Entertainment to make psychological thriller “Cat Person,” based on the short story by Kristen Roupenian which was published by The New Yorker in 2017.
Owned by Vivendi’s Canal PLus Group, and traditionally one of the strongest sales operations at Cannes, Studiocanal will fully finance the feature – billed as describing the “hellscape” of modern romance.
Studiocanal’s Pre-Cannes Screenings sales slate also features horror-thriller “Baghead,” starring “The Witcher’s” Freya Allan, and produced with The Picture Company.
