Got a Tip?

James Franco & Robert Pattinson Have Reportedly Met With ‘Divines’ Director Houda Benyamina About Her Next Movie

You may not know the name Houda Benyamina, but you’re probably going to hear much more about her. The filmmaker made waves with her feature debut “Divines,” which won the Camera d’Or at Cannes, and was snapped up by none other than Netflix. The movie is now streaming on the service, and Hollywood has taken note, with the director landing an American agent, which has allowed her to meet with some name brand actors about her next movie.

According to Les InRocks, James Franco and Robert Pattinson are among the actors that Benyamina has discussed her next project with. The untitled film is apparently a love story and costume drama set against the backdrop of war, but there’s no further details at the moment. It all seems pretty early on, and casting still down the line, but it speaks to the heat Benyamina has generated that she’s nabbing this kind of attention from Hollywood types.

We’ll keep an ear to the ground for more details, but until then, maybe spend some of Thanksgiving weekend catching up with “Divines” and seeing what all the fuss is about. [via Robert Pattinson Australia]
