Writer-director Ruben Östlund has signed with WME. His latest film “Force Majeure” stirred up some big talk at the Toronto Film Festival and won the prestigious Jury Prize at the Cannes Film Festival. The film follows a family on a ski trip in the French Alps who find themselves staring down an avalanche during lunch one day. It was distributed through Magnolia Pictures and produced by Erik Hemmendorff and Marie Kjellson.
Ostlund’s previous work includes “Play,” a drama about real-life incidences of bullying, and “Involuntary,” a tragi-comedy that featured five parallel stories with human group behaviour as the common theme.
