Overview
- The project was publicly announced this week, with Jenna Ortega confirmed as the lead for Leos Carax’s seventh feature.
- Producer Hugo Sélignac’s Paris-based Chi‑Fou‑Mi, part of Mediawan, is financing and producing the film.
- The released synopsis and concept art present Lily May B as a dystopian, surreal road movie about three young people riding a large motorcycle through empty cities and forests.
- Filming is slated to begin in spring 2027 and the production says a full, A‑list cast will be revealed in September.
- The announcement raises questions about an earlier Carax project once linked to Léa Seydoux and Adam Driver and spotlights Ortega’s shift into high‑profile auteur work with a director known for striking, dreamlike visuals.
