Bertrand Mandico’s ‘Roma elastica’ & Lukas Dhont’s ‘Coward’ Moving Forward; Cannes 2026?

Date:

The cineuropa folks always publish the latest advance on receipts for the CNC and it gives us taste of what we’ll find in the not so distant future and we’d wager that Bertrand Mandico and Lukas Dhont will likely move into production soon for what would be a likely 2026 drop and seeing that both filmmakers are tied to Cannes having premiered there in the past we think that the chances are indeed plausible for some Croisette love. Announce this past December, Marion Cotillard, Alba Rohrwacher and Jasmine Trinca signed onto topline Mandico’s Roma elastica (revolves around an actress who is going make her last film in Rome in the 1980s) while Dhont has been receiving some early coin support to put towards his third feature film in Coward. Here are all the projects receiving coin:
