Screenbound Boards ‘Amazing Grace’ Starring ‘Adolescence’ Actor Hannah Walters — Cannes Market
- Hannah Walters’ big new role
- A sneak peek from Cannes
- What’s the movie all about?
Guess what just landed on our desk straight from the Cannes Market? A first look at a new film called Amazing Grace, starring the super talented Hannah Walters!
You might know Hannah from her powerful role in Adolescence. She’s seriously got range! Now, she’s teaming up with writer and performer Daniel P. Lewis. He plays a character named Walter in the film.
Walter sounds like a very deep character. He’s deeply isolated. And he’s on the brink of suicide. Intense stuff.
We’ve seen a sneak peek – a shot described as ‘from above.’ This visual angle already gives the film a distinct, almost observational aesthetic. It feels quite poignant, like watching someone from a distance, lost in their own world.
Screenbound International Pictures is bringing this one to the market. Cannes is buzzing, as always! Remember how Alia Bhatt shone there recently?
It’s cool to see more interesting projects emerging from the festival. Like that new directorial debut from Nathalia Acevedo, Salón De Belleza, also making waves at Cannes. Lots of exciting stuff happening!
Our Take
Okay, so here’s what we think. Amazing Grace sounds like it’s going to hit you right in the feels. Hannah Walters is always amazing, and pairing her with Daniel P. Lewis on such a tough topic? That’s powerful.
The ‘from above’ shot gives us a strong visual cue. It promises a thoughtful, perhaps even poetic, look at a very human struggle. We’re definitely keeping an eye on this one. It feels like it could be a real tear-jerker, but in the best possible way.
