Sandra H�ller, the Oscar-nominated actor of �Anatomy of a Fall,� and four-time Academy Award nominee Willem Dafoe (�At Eternity�s Gate�) are set to co-star in Kent Jones� �Late Fame,� reteaming �May December� co-screenwriter Samy Burch and producer Killer Films.

One of the hottest packages set for a Cannes Launch, �Late Fame� has been boarded by MK2 Films which is hot off an Oscar win for �Anatomy of a Fall� and will represent worldwide sales outside of North America. WME Independent, UTA Independent Film Group and Cinetic Media will co-represent North American rights. Pamela Koffler and Christine Vachon will serve as producers for Killer Films (�Past Lives,� �May December�). The film will start shooting in NYC in the fall.

�Late Fame� �tells the story of Ed Saxberger (Dafoe), who wrote a book of poetry a long time ago that no one ever cared about. When a group of young artists rediscover his work, he must reassess his genius. The wild card in the group is Gloria (H�ller), a talented and mercurial theatre actress who toys with affections and who is all set to be admired by Saxberger, this legendary figure from a gritty New York golden age,� reads the synopsis, which describes the film as �wickedly ironic and unexpectedly poignant.� The film explores the �illusory effect of praise on the soul, and the lingering ghostly presence of the past, whether it�s imagined or vividly remembered.�

Jones made his feature film debut with the award-winning �Diane,� starring Mary Kay Place and Jake Lacy. His previous work includes the documentary �Hitchcock/Truffaut,� which premiered at Cannes in 2015 and the Peabody Award-winning �A Letter to Elia,� co-directed with Martin Scorsese, with whom he has collaborated frequently over the years. +
