EXCLUSIVE: Adèle Exarchopoulos (Blue Is the Warmest Color) has landed a lead role opposite Zoë Kravitz in Apple‘s mystery movie from My Old Ass helmer Megan Park, sources tell Deadline.
No word yet on Exarchopoulos’ part. Reps for Apple declined to comment. This will mark the decorated French actress’s first American studio lead role.
Park’s new film is untitled; its logline is being kept under wraps. Park is directing from her own script and exec producing, with Apple Studios and LuckyChap to produce in association with FilmNation. Tom Ackerley and Bronte Payne are overseeing for LuckyChap.
Exarchopoulos broke out with her lead role opposite Léa Seydoux in the romantic drama Blue Is the Warmest Color from Abdellatif Kechiche. In the film’s 2013 premiere at Cannes, she became the youngest-ever winner of the Palme d’Or, sharing the honor with Kechiche and Seydoux.
Exarchopoulos’ upcoming slate includes a pair of French films: Jeanne Herry’s Garance (Another Day), out in France on September 23, and Christophe Honoré’s Orange-Flavoured Wedding (Mariage au goût d’orange), which releases there on December 9.
A two-time César Award winner who voiced the role of Ennui in Pixar’s Inside Out 2, she is repped by UTA, Adequat in France, and Nour Abdelnour and Youssef at Marquis.
