The 2015 Cannes Film Festival has yet to open, but trailers are already pouring in and distributors are already flocking to buzzy titles, snapping them up before even one red carpet rolls out or a single fancy curtain rises. This year’s festival will run from May 13 until May 24, so while we’re certainly in for a bevy of deals over the coming days, there are already plenty worth talking about. Basically, say “Werner Herzog volcano doc,” and you’ve got a news item, at least how we see it. Here’s what’s happening at Cannes right now.

Variety reports that Dogwoof has picked up the rights to Werner Herzog’s Into The Inferno, a documentary that hasn’t even been made yet. (Of course, who wouldn’t want to own the rights to any Herzog feature that involves natural disasters?) The film will see Herzog teaming up with “one of the world’s leading volcanologists, Professor Clive Oppenheimer, author of Eruptions That Shook The World, to bring the story of the relationship between volcanoes, our planet and human society to the screen.” The film will lens around the world, including North Korea, Indonesia, Italy, Hawaii, Iceland, and Eritrea. It’s expected to be completed in 2016.

Also over at Variety, a report that Cinedigm has bought North American distribution rights for the Maisie Williams-starring The Falling. Per the outlet, “Carol Morley directed from her own script, which centers on the aftermath of a tragedy in the late 1960s at an English girls school, when an epidemic of fainting strikes.” The film opened in the U.K. in April, and will arrive on North American shores later this summer, complete with a theatrical, VOD, and digital download platform release.

Variety also shares that Fortissimo Films has picked up the rights to the Vietnamese drama Yellow Flowers On The Green Grass, helmed by Victor Vu. Based on Nguyen Nhat Anh’s novel I See Yellow Flowers Upon The Green Grass, the film is set in the ’80s and follows a pair of brothers who “vie for the attentions of the same girl and leads to a violent climax.” The film is still in post-production, but is expected to be released during the holiday season.

Deadline reports that Fortissimo has also purchased world rights to Maurice Dekkers’ food doc Ants On A Shrimp, about chef Rene Redzepi and his attempt to move his trademark restaurant from Denmark to Japan. The film is still in post-production.

Also over at Variety, news that the Noomi Rapace and Glenn Close-starring sci-fi actioner What Happened On Monday? has been snapped up by the SND-M6 Group, who now own both France and world rights to the Tommy Wirkola film. The future-set film will see Rapace playing “seven identical sisters living in a one-child policy state, who outwit its Child Allocation Bureau, by assuming one common identity—Karen Settman—when venturing outdoors. Named by their father after the days of the week, they take on individual identities in their own apartment until one day Monday doesn’t come home.” The film will start lensing in July.

The outlet also reports that Oscilloscope has already picked up two films from the Cannes market: Alice Rohrwacher’s The Wonders, about a family of Italian beekeepers whose lives are upended by a reality show, and Daniel Wolfe’s Catch Me Daddy, which centers on the daughter of a terrifying crime family who attempts to flee with her boyfriend. The distributor is looking to release both films this year.

Picturehouse and Element have now picked up UK and Ireland rights to one of our most anticipated Cannes entries, Yorgos Lanthimos’ The Lobster, also per Variety. The star-studded (Colin Farrell, Rachel Weisz, Lea Seydoux) feature imagines a future where unlucky singletons have to find a love match during a 45-day visit to a hotel, or be turned into animals and set free. The film will be released in the U.K. and Ireland this year. (Where is our American release? she screams.)
