An Oscar nominee for Best Adapted Screenplay for 2004’s Before Sunset and 2013’s Before Midnight, Delpy is perhaps best known as a director for the comedies 2 Days in Paris (2007) and its sequel 2 Days in New York (2012).

Gist: Delpy’s script concerns divorced geneticist Isabelle, whose daughter Zoe means everything to her. When tragedy strikes her family, Isabelle must take matters into her own hands.
Release Date/Prediction: Delpy filmed in Berlin and Moscow beginning May 2018. We expect Delpy to be a potential candidate to compete in Berlin 2019.
