As Cannes kicks off, Hollywood’s getting ready for another round of “let’s make a deal,” Cote d’Azur style.

If things go according to sales agents’ plans, the bidding wars will flow as freely as the rosé. But if studios arrive feeling skittish about spending money, not even that famous French sunshine will heat up an ice cold marketplace.

On paper, there’s plenty of projects and packages that seem promising. They range from action thrillers to war dramas and tearjerkers, and feature A-listers like Rami Malek, Alicia Vikander, Jeremy Strong, Matthew McConaughey and Jason Statham. Here’s a look at nine films that could have buyers reaching for their checkbook.
