Simon Pegg and Sofia Boutella are teaming up in the new drama "Only What We Carry," which also stars Quentin Tarantino, Charlotte Gainsbourg, Liam Hellmann, and Lizzy McAlpine in her feature film debut.
International Film Trust has boarded and will launch world sales at this week’s European Film Market.
The Normandy-set drama, currently in post-production, unfolds “on the windswept coast of Deauville, and follows Julian Johns (Pegg), a once-formidable Moulin Rouge artistic director whose isolated life is upended when former dancer Charlotte Levant (Boutella) seeks him out after reading a news article revealing his whereabouts. Her arrival forces both to confront unresolved grief, buried truths and the emotional cost of the lives they’ve left behind. Tarantino appears as Julian’s publisher, who lives at the chateau as Julian writes his memoir, while Gainsbourg plays Charlotte’s fiercely protective sister.”
The movie marks Tarantino’s biggest on screen movie role since the Robert Rodriguez classic "From Dusk Til Dawn" in 1996. Pegg and Boutella previously starred together in "Star Trek Beyond".
Written and directed by Jamie Adams, the project is said to continue the filmmaker’s improvisation-driven approach, inspired by the work of Eric Rohmer and Hong Sang Soo.
The pic is produced by Charles Benoin, Hellmann and Jouri Smit. Executive producers include Alan Ganansia, Richard Althoff, Laura Auclair, Theodoros Ornithopoulos, Jihane Salim, Frédérique Mathias, Alain Bérard, Audrey Boccadifuocco and Pegg.
