Making it near impossible to have a proper box set as his filmography has been housed at Music Box Films, Magnolia, A24, and more recently Neon for Anora, Sean Baker will get the ball rolling for Warner Bros.’ new label — a return to indie speciality servicing. The trades announce that the Palme d’Or and Oscar-winning filmmaker will see his next feature titled Ti Amo! housed with this new label for a release set for next year. Clockwork will release up to three films per year – and we’ll see if they are in the acquisition business at Cannes this year.
Ti Amo! is likely the project that is Baker’s love letter to the Italian sex comedies of the ’60s and ’70s. Commedia sexy all’italiana? SÌ. Unless he decides to shoot once again off the radar, we should hear about the possible casting and a production start date during Cannes. Baker will write, direct, edit, cast, and produce the project – re-teaming with Alex Coco and Samantha Quan.
