Ben Croll To the degree that a global sales division can shape its own image, Pathé’s international arm has built and bolstered its current brand around strong IP, recognizable faces and unbelievable but true stories.To see those elements in play, one need only look to last year, when projects including Paul Verhoeven’s “Benedetta” and Martin Bourboulon’s “Eiffel” lifted from world and film history as they showcased stars such as Virginie Efira, Romain Duris and Emma Mackey, while collectively finding homes in more than a hundred international territories. (In the U.S., for example, “Benedetta” sold to IFC Films, while “Eiffel” went to Blue Fox Entertainment.)To witness those same imperatives, but supercharged, one need only glimpse Pathé’s 2022 slate, which goes long on hometown IP and star power.
Ozark’s Jessica Frances Dukes Threw Final Script Across Room and Cried: ‘It’s an Emotional Roller-Coaster’
22.04.2022 - 16:31 / usmagazine.com
Waterworks! Ozark’s Jessica Frances Dukes had quite the emotional reaction to reading the show’s final script — and she wants people to prepare themselves.
“I read the final scripts and I just threw the scripts across the room,” Dukes, 31, revealed exclusively to Us Weekly about her feelings toward the finale. “I tossed tables! I cried! It’s gonna be an emotional roller-coaster. So be ready.”
The actress, who plays Special Agent Maya Miller on the Netflix hit drama, expressed that she had overwhelming thoughts about how she wanted her character’s story to end.
“It’s just hard when you live with the character for so long. You have so many things that you want,” the New York native explained to Us. “You are like, ‘I have these five different endings that I want to happen.’ And those writers are just so brilliant. They gave me something more than I could have ever imagined with her. And I just I’m just honored.”
However, the NCIS alum is aware her character’s choices don’t always go over well with the audience — including that decision to arrest cartel leader Navarro in part one of the Netflix thriller’s last season.
“I knew everybody was gonna be pissed when I got the script,” Dukes admitted to Us. “I was reading and I was so in. And then I got there and I was like, ‘You gotta be kidding me.’ [Maya] just turned the whole thing upside down! I’m such a fan of the show too. So I was like, dang it, Maya.”
That surprising twist didn’t damper the New Amsterdam actress’ love for the show, however, and saying goodbye was her most difficult hurdle.
In an official behind-the-scenes video that Netflix released on April 14, The Good Wife alum could be seen getting sentimental about her last day on set.
“When they said we were videoing and I
