- Species secured distribution deals across Europe, including Spain’s ADSO and Twelve Oaks Pictures, Switzerland’s Filmcoopi, Scandinavia’s Njuta Fillms, German‑speaking Europe’s Lighthouse, and CIS’s Magic, while ARP Selection pre‑bought French rights.
- Species also landed in non‑European territories, with Cine Video Y TV handling Latin America, Movie Copyright in Thailand, Mars in Turkey, Mockingbird covering Vietnam and Cambodia, Impact in India, and 888 in the Philippines.
- Mara Taquin stars as Margot, an intern in a high‑pressure ER who begins experiencing a strange metamorphosis, joined by Karin Viard, Kim Higelin and Sami Outalbali.
- Le Corroller says the film’s premise was inspired by the toxic, demanding world of finance, citing French female body‑horror directors Coralie Fargeat and Julie Ducournau and American horror maker Ari Aster as influences.
- WTFilms is handling the Cannes sales effort, coordinating the numerous distribution agreements announced for Species.
Why it matters: The deals deliver immediate box‑office and streaming revenue for the film’s producers (Windy Production, Trésor Films) and give distributors—like ADSO, Twelve Oaks, Filmcoopi, and Impact—new genre titles to attract audiences, strengthening their Cannes‑season line‑ups.
