A24 is planning a theatrical release. WME Independent, which represents worldwide sales rights to the film, negotiated on behalf of the filmmakers with A24 at the Cannes market.

The film follows an aging Robin Hood grappling with his past after a life of crime and murder who finds himself gravely injured after a battle he thought would be his last. In the hands of a mysterious woman, he is offered a chance at salvation. Production on the film is set to begin in February 2025.

Lyrical Media, Ryder Picture Company and A24 recently partnered on Adam Wingard’s action thriller Onslaught. Lyrical and RPC entered into a first-look deal last week to produce and finance RPC films, genre agnostic with budgets of $10 million and up. The deal is for two years with an option to extend to a third.

This marks the second project with A24 and Comer, who is set to star in a series adaptation of Jen Beagin’s Sex Therapy and the novel Big Swiss for HBO with A24 and Adam McKay’s Hyperobject Industries producing.

Also in Cannes, A24 this week acquired U.S. rights to Ruben Östlund’s The Entertainment System Is Down, starring Kirsten Dunst, Keanu Reeves, Daniel Brühl, Nicholas Braun and Samantha Morton.

Spend management startup SiFi raises $10M to grow further in Saudi Arabia
The global spend management sector is experiencing a tailwind of sorts. Indeed, the space is expected to grow at a compound annual growth rate of 10.3% by 2030, per Grand View Research, and adoption in other regions like the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) is expected to pick up as companies increasingly adopt expense management tools to get a clearer picture of where their money is going. Saudi Arabia-based Simplified Financial Solutions Company (SiFi), one such spend management platform in the MENA region, has now raised $10 million in a seed funding round to double down on its growth plans in its home market.

X tweaks rules to formally allow adult content
X (formerly Twitter) has long had many active NSFW (not safe for work) communities, and though the social network unofficially allowed people to post adult content, its rules have never forbidden or allowed such content outright. Over the weekend, X added clauses to its rules, formally allowing users to post adult and graphic content on the platform — with a few caveats. Users can now post consensually-produced NSFW content as long as it is prominently labeled as such.
