Today brings the marvelous news that Amazon has laid claim to Annette, Carax’s new film featuring Adam Driver and Barbadian pop starlet Rihanna.
But that director and cast pairing is more than reason enough to mark this down on the calendar, even with formerly-announced star Rooney Mara out of the picture.
So the extent to which the film actually qualifies as a musical has yet to be seen.
And continue trusting me when I tell you that news of another feature project from the less-than-prolific Carax is ample reason to prick up your ears and pay attention.
