It was only a couple of weeks ago that Sting was pitting an oversized spider against the inhabitants of an NYC apartment building. Now we have Infested, which pits the inhabitants of a French housing project against a horde of arachnids. Arachnids that the prologue implies are both deadly and in demand.
One of the people that demand comes from is Kaleb. He’s a young man trying to make a living hustling sneakers and whatever else he can make a quick profit from. It’s not exactly a thriving business, and he’s stuck living with his sister Manon in the rundown apartment they inherited from their mother. Adding to his unhappiness is a falling out with his long time friend Jordy.
To cheer himself up, he decides to make...

Anne Charrier (The Last Deadly Mission), Eriq Ebanouey (Fox Hunt), Laika Blanc Francard (My Night), Romain Levi (The Tunnel) and newcomer Louis Puech Scigliuzzi are set as series regulars opposite Norman Reedus, Clémence Poésy and Adam Nagaitis in The Walking Dead: Daryl Dixon, AMC’s spinoff from its flagship drama. Filming is currently underway in France, with premiere set for later this year on AMC and AMC+.
Set after the series conclusion of Twd, the Reedus-led offshoot finds the zombie apocalypse fan favorite transported across the Atlantic to France and a whole new level of a world gone mad.
In the spinoff, Daryl (Reedus) washes ashore in France and struggles to piece together how he got there and why. The series tracks his journey across a broken but resilient France as he hopes to find a way back home. As he makes the journey, though, the connections he forms along...

With its impressive stunt scenes, pimped cars and groomed cops, Netflix’s “Lost Bullet” marks a big departure from the typical French thriller with run-down cops on the verge of depression or retirement.
Sara May, a Quebec-born executive who joined Netflix in 2018, has been a driving force behind a new wave of French action thrillers such as the “Lost Bullet” franchise that have been global hits on the streamer.
Released two weeks ago on the platform, the second opus of “Lost Bullet” currently ranks as the most-watched non-English language movie on Netflix, and it’s also in the top 10 across 80 countries. The movie also tops the charts across 80 territories including France, Morocco, Saudi Arabia, Kenya, Thailand and Jamaica.
Set in Southern France, in Marseille, “Lost Bullet 2” brings back the French cast including Alban Lenoir, Stéfi Celma and Pascale Arbillot. Lenoir (pictured above), who started his career as a stuntman on movies like “Taken,...

Currently in the Netflix showcase with his work Earth and Blood, the French filmmaker has already shot another film for the platform, with Olga Kurylenko shining bright in its cast. Shot in November and December last year, Sentinelle by Julien Leclercq will soon be in a position to resume post-production activities, which were put on pause as a result of the health crisis. This will be the second consecutive film the director has made for Netflix, following on from Earth and Blood (released worldwide via the platform on 17 April) and the 7th feature film in his career after Chrysalis (2007), The Assault (2011), The Informant (2013), The Crew (2016) and The Bouncer (2018).Standing tall in the cast is the French actress of Ukrainian origin Olga Kurylenko (revealed in Quantum of Solace, and especially well received in To The Wonder, Land of Oblivion and Just A Breath Away, not to...
For an 80-minute action drama, "Earth And Blood" seems like a patchwork of genre-specific scenes set up to decidedly arrive at a set-piece climax of violence. Which is not saying much, because the action ending is hardly innovative in the entertainment quotient it manages to strike. The finale makes you realise you have just watched a compilation of action movie cliches and little else.
Julien Leclercq's new French film, with a translated title as fetching as "Earth And Blood", promised much -- especially if you had sampled its blazing trailer, or if your inner action addict came of age watching Luc Besson, Louis Leterrier or Olivier Megaton's simply irresistible bloodsoaked fare that influenced French violent cinema -- nay, cinema of violence anywhere in the world -- over the past decades.
Leclercq himself would perhaps find an indulgent nod in the club of new-age mainstream action titans from France,...

Under normal circumstances, the Cannes Film Festival would have announced its lineup this week. Instead, it’s still unclear how the festival will happen at all, now that the earlier delay to late June has become impossible — after French President Emmanuel Macron banned festivals and other crowded events until at least mid-July — and the rest of the festival calendar is mighty crowded. Autonomous sidebars Directors Fortnight and Critics’ Week have officially canceled. The festival said in a statement that it hoped to communicate the different forms that Cannes 2020 could take in August or September.
Whatever happens with Cannes, however, the French film industry’s representatives at Unifrance are soldiering on. Backed by the government and the Centre national du cinéma et de l’image animée (Cnc), Unifrance is trying to keep its 1,000 members, who include global partners, informed during a pandemic.

There’s never been a better time to try and catch up on all those films and TV shows that’ve been sitting on your watchlist for months now. After all, if you’re practicing social distancing and staying home as much as you can, there’s not much else to do other than to stream content from your platform of choice.
Speaking of which, the first streaming service most people log into is Netflix. And that only makes sense, as they have more content than ever and continue to deliver more and more on a near daily basis. And while they certainly aren’t the only streaming site worth subscribing to, they definitely have the most variety and the deepest library.
But with so many movies and TV shows, where does one begin? Well, how about with some of the new additions coming this week? Yes, a new week...
