 Last year we learned that Netflix and
the Cannes Film Festival were fighting. In 2017 Cannes allowed Netflix projects
to be allowed in to consideration but last year they enforced a rule in which
all films played must have a French theatrical run and can’t be streamed for
three years after. Netflix had a problem with that and yanked Alfonso Cuaron’s
Roma from the festival and decided to premiere it at the Venice Film Festival.
Now that it became a Best Picture and Best Foreign Picture Nominee/Winner Cannes director Thierry Fremaux is now saying the festival could soon
be coming to a truce with the streaming service. Netflix’ Ted Sarandos and Scott
Stuber attended the Lumiere Film Festival, which is co-run by Fremaux, to talk
about a future relationship. Possible entries include: Martin Scorsese’s The
Irishman (if it is done), J.C. Chandor’s Triple Frontier, Dan Gilroy’s Velvet
Buzzsaw, David Michod’s The King, and Steven Soderbergh’s The Laundromat.
