Cannes Market Musts: John Polson’s Tenderness

Date:

If I was a buyer on day I’d be checking out the rights to Greenstreet Films international’s Tenderness. John Polson (Swimfan, Hide and Seek) content at the Cannes marrket I’d be curious to check out this tale which stars Russell Crowe, Laur Dern and young actors Jon Foster and Sophie Traub in a tale about  When 16-year-old runaway Lori meets Eric, she is irresistibly drawn to him despite his violent past and the undercurrents of danger she senses. Lieutenant Cristofuoro pursues the pair and tries to unravel Eric’s complex past before it is too late. Lionsgate will release the film domestically probably sometime this year.
