Leo Woodall (The White Lotus, Bridget Jones: Mad About the Boy) and Clémence Poésy (Tenet, In Bruges) have signed on to star in A Waiter in Paris, the feature debut of Emmy-nominated TV director Peter Hoar (The Last of Us, It’s a Sin).
Cornerstone has acquired worldwide sales rights to the title and will be pitching it to buyers at the Cannes Film Market next month. Cornerstone is handling all international rights and will co-rep the U.S. with WME Independent.
The film, based on Edward Chisholm’s memoir of the same name, follows L’Anglais (Woodall), an over-educated Brit trying to prove himself in the ruthless world of Parisian waiters. Poésy plays Pauline, the manager of the Parisian brasserie where L’Anglais works.
