In a joint effort, Parisian company Haut et Court and London’s Good Chaos – both founding members of the independent production group The Creatives, financed by Fremantle – have obtained the movie adaptations rights for “Paris-Hollywood“, the first novel penned by esteemed French film critic Cécile Mury.
The upcoming novel, to be published by Flammarion in April 2025, centers around a romantic tale between a French journalist and an English-speaking movie star. Last year at the Frankfurt Book Fair, translation rights for this captivating story were acquired in six different territories. Haut et Court and Good Chaos outbid several French and European production companies to obtain the film adaptation rights. These companies plan to create a romantic comedy that seamlessly merges aspects of both French and English styles within the genre.
Caroline Benjo, Co-CEO of Haut et Court, expressed her excitement about partnering with Good Chaos to produce a charming romantic comedy. She mentioned that it’s a unique take on the genre with an indefinable charm and almost nothing like anything else. As soon as she read the book, she immediately secured the rights.
Mike Goodridge, CEO of Good Chaos, characterized the book as “an endearing and convincing read” that delves thoughtfully into the essence of love and the boundaries we unknowingly set before embarking on a romantic journey.
Haut et Court is well-recognized for creating films and television series on an international scale, such as “The Class,” which won the Palme d’Or in 2008, and “The Lobster,” which received the Jury Prize at Cannes in 2015. Some of their future projects encompass “Sukkwan Island,” scheduled for Sundance 2025, along with Dominik Moll’s “Case 137.
Good Chaos Production Company, under the guidance of Goodridge, is currently in the final stages of post-production for “The Ballad of a Small Player,” directed by Edward Berger and featuring Colin Farrell and Tilda Swinton. Their past projects include the Palme d’Or winner “Triangle of Sadness” (2022) and “Quo Vadis, Aida?
