**New York, NY** – David Cronenberg’s latest film, “The Shrouds,” has secured a US distributor with Sideshow and Janus Films acquiring all rights to the film. The film, starring Vincent Cassel as a tech tycoon who develops a technology allowing viewers to observe the decomposition of their deceased loved ones, premiered at Cannes earlier this year and was recently featured at the Toronto International Film Festival.
The film, described as a “thought-provoking thriller” by the distributors, will have its US premiere at the New York Film Festival next month before a wide release planned for spring 2025.
“The Shrouds” marks a continuation of the long-standing partnership between Cronenberg and Janus Films, dating back to the release of “Videodrome” in 1983. The film is produced by Saïd Ben Saïd, Martin Katz, and Anthony Vaccarello and boasts a stellar cast featuring Vincent Cassel and Diane Kruger.
The acquisition of “The Shrouds” by Sideshow and Janus Films ensures a strong US launch for Cronenberg’s latest work. The distributors are confident in the film’s success, calling it a “major new work” from the Canadian master.
