A new interview with Sparks musician Russel Mael has the artist talking about his work on Carax’s upcoming musical “Annette” [via Consequences of Sound] and, suffice to say, it sounds like a very unique cinematic experience (would you expect anything else from Carax?) The screenplay for “Annette” was written by the musical Mael brothers (Ron and Russell), otherwise known as Sparks a musical duo launched 47 years ago. The cryptic, but official synopsis of “Annette” has a stand-up comedian (played by Adam Driver) and his opera singer wife (Marion Cotillard) discovering that their two-year-old daughter has a “surprising gift.” Not much else is known about the movie at this time, but rumors had it set to premiere in May at the now-canceled, postponed, who knows right now, Cannes Film Festival. There is currently no release date for “Annette", but one assumes that, if things go back to some kind of normalcy, a fall date is all but inevitable and maybe even a new premiere slot at next September’s Venice Film Festival.
