Exclusive: Perry King, the actor whose credits include everything from Riptide and Melrose Place to Slaughterhouse-Five and The Day After Tomorrow, is bringing his directorial debut to Cannes. The black-and-white shot The Divide is making its world market premiere during the fest that kicks off tonight.
Arya Worldwide Entertainment has boarded the pic, about a ranch family in drought-ravaged mid-1970s Northern California, and will handle foreign sales jointly with Amsterdam-based Quira.
The plot in Jana Brown’s script revolved around Sam Kincaid (King), an aging rancher with a failing memory in a time when Alzheimer’s disease wasn’t well documented; his estranged and independent-minded daughter, Sarah (Bosch‘s Sara Arrington); and Luke (Bryan Kaplan), a ranch hand who finds himself in the midst of a family in crisis. Internal struggles, the realities of an unforgiving landscape and the need to reconcile a long-ago tragedy collide in the Western tale.
