Apple Original Films has landed out of Cannes the worldwide rights to a package for “Fingernails,” a science-fiction film and romance that will star Jessie Buckley and Riz Ahmed, an individual with knowledge of the sale told TheWrap.
“Fingernails” is the English-language debut of the Greek director of “Apples,” Christos Nikou. Production is expected to begin later this year.
“Fingernails” will be set in a surreal future in which married couples can undergo a test to see if they are truly in love. Buckley plays Anna, a woman who undergoes the test and doesn’t believe her positive result is accurate, so she takes an assistant job at a “love institute” under an instructor named Trevor, played by Ahmed.
