Ildikó Enyedi’s “Story of My Wife” was panned at Cannes in 2021, but she’s still a notable name in the euro film circuit, having helmed critically acclaimed films “My 20th Century” and “On Body and Soul.” She’s now working on a new film, set to shoot next month, titled “Silent Friend.” It’s set to star Tony Leung and Léa Seydoux. The plot “tells three stories connected to a tree over a period of more than 100 years” and centers on “radical shifts in human perception of plants, animals and humans.”
The ‘Smile’ franchise has a new director. David Bruckner, who made “The Night House” and the 2022 “Hellraiser” reboot, has been hired to direct “Smile 3” for Paramount.
