French filmmaker Claire Denis is moving forward with the cannibal crime drama 'The Soap Maker,' which she is now set to write and direct. The project was first presented to buyers at the European Film Market (EFM) during the Berlin International Film Festival in 2025.
According to industry reports, the film has gained traction with producers including Sacha Ben Harroche, who is known for his work on 'The Beast' and other international co-productions. Denis, acclaimed for films such as 'Beau Travail' and 'High Life,' will also serve as screenwriter.
Plot details remain under wraps, but the title suggests a narrative involving a soap maker and cannibalism, a theme Denis has explored in earlier works like 'Trouble Every Day.' The project is currently in development with no announced cast or production timeline.
