14 Awesomely Absurd Movie Posters From The Cannes Film Festival




There is a vampire musical staring a Backstreet Boy and a male Bridesmaids counterpart with Dustin Diamond and Metta World Peace. Seriously.

Every year, while the stars and auteurs come out for the Cannes Film Festival, the international industry gathers for Le Marché du Film — the market that happens at the same time, in the same building. While the fest is glitzy and prestigious, the Marché is all about business, with companies from around the world offering up movies that are sometimes serious, sometimes schlocky, and sometimes haven’t even been made yet.


Here are 14 highlights from the market this year. Brace yourselves.

Damian Chapa didn’t just write and direct this “unauthorized” biopic, he also cast himself as Roman Polanski.

Chris Pine actually co-wrote this comedy, but it hasn’t been shot yet, so there’s still time for us to convince him that “mantivities” are not a thing.


14. Zoombies
