There’s plenty of projects and packages that seem promising. They range from action thrillers to war dramas and tearjerkers, and feature A-listers like Rami Malek, Alicia Vikander, Matthew McConaughey.

Here’s a look at some films that could attract buyers.

Cast: Rami Malek, Tom Sturridge, Luther Ford, Rebecca Hall and Ebon Moss-Bachrach.
Director: Ira Sachs

Indie director Sachs returns with this look at a downtown artist (Malek) dying of AIDS, who still believes he has one great performance and romance left.

Malek has the kind of showy role that could put him in the awards conversation for the first time since winning an Oscar for 2018’s “Bohemian Rhapsody.”

But it’s Ford, best known for playing Prince Harry in “The Crown,” who may have people talking with his breakout turn as the object of Malek’s affection.

Cast: Jason Statham
Director: David Ayer

Statham is back kicking ass and taking names as an amnesiac killing machine.

The action-thriller is directed by Ayer, who partnered with Statham on hits like “The Beekeeper” and “A Working Man.”

“Last Dance”
Cast: Adrien Brody, Rachel Zegler, Ben Platt
Director: Karim Aïnouz

The family drama is based on an autobiographical New Yorker article by Emily Ziff Griffin, marking Brody’s first screen role since winning the Oscar for “The Brutalist.”

It also comes after Oscar nominee Zegler (“West Side Story”) picked up an Olivier Award for Evita, the London stage sensation soon to make its way to Broadway.

The story follows a composer Elliot (Brody) who invites his daughter Emma (Zegler) on a gay cruise through the Caribbean in 1991 at the height of the AIDS crisis.

Platt will write the film’s original music, in addition to appearing in supporting part.

“The Passenger”
Cast: Jeremy Strong
Director: Magnus von Horn

The adaptation of a 1938 novel of the same name by Ulrich Alexander Boschwitz, is billed as an escape thriller.

Strong, hot off “The Apprentice” and soon as Mark Zuckerberg in “The Social Reckoning,” has been tapped to play a businessman forced to flee Berlin after Kristallnacht in this relevant historical tale.

Von Horn’s last film, The Girl with the Needle, was nominated for an Oscar for best international feature.

“Avedon”

Director: Ron Howard

Howard may be best known for blockbusters like “Apollo 13” and the Oscar winner “A Beautiful Mind,” but in recent years he’s become a skilled documentarian, dealing with everyone from José Andrés to The Beatles. He’s got a fascinating subject in Avedon, the most famous 20th century photographer.

T0 tell his story, he got unprecedented access to the artist’s personal archives, as well as interviews with friends and collaborators. “Avedon” will premiere at the festival, and it sounds exactly like the kind of celebrity portrait that the man himself excelled at capturing — a snapshot of a legend that reveals the person beneath the iconography.

“Brigands of Battlecreek”
Cast: Matthew McConaughey, Austin Butler, Pedro Pascal, Tang Wei
Director: Park Chan-wook

Director Park, the president of this year’s grand jury at Cannes, enters the market with his starriest cast ever. The combined twangs of McConaughey and Butler, plus the added power of Marvel hero and internet boyfriend Pascal and “Lust Caution” breakout Wei.

“Brigands” is a Western revenge fantasy, exploring “the consequences of violence, the value of family, the power of memory, and the true cost of life.”

“Club Kid”
Cast: Jordan Firstman, Cara Delevingne, Diego Calva
Director: Jordan Firstman

Firstman straddles the line between art house cool and foamy pop influence as both an actor and personality.  He steps up not only in a more dramatic role, but as a feature director.

He is playing a NYC club promoter who’s stayed a bit too long at the party, especially when the son he didn’t know he fathered shows up.

“Dernsie”

Cast: Bruce Dern, Tarantino, Alexander Payne, Billy Bob Thornton, Walton Goggins, Patty Jenkins, Will Forte, Laura Dern

Director: Mike Mendez

Oscar nominee Dern, 89, opens up about a turbulent, but rewarding life and career in Hollywood.

A stacked ensemble of talking heads, including his Oscar-winning daughter, Laura Dern.

“Bulls”
Cast: Dylan O’Brien, Lewis Pullman, Kaia Gerber
Director: Shane Morosini

O’Brien has delivered commanding performances in recent films like “Ponyboi,” “Twinless” and “Send Help.” Paired with two buzzy stars – real life couple Pullman and Gerber – this erotic thriller should appeal to the Cannes market’s buyers.

It follows a wallflower (O’Brien) who travels to hedonistic resort, and unwittingly becomes the obsession of a dangerous husband and wife.

“Later the War”
Cast: Channing Tatum, Tessa Thompson, Patsy Ferran
Director: Charlie Kaufman

Indie maestro Kaufman, theartist behind “Being John Malkovich” and “Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind,” has paired top talent with surrealist concepts.

Tatum proved in last year’s “Roofman” he could handle various roles beyond stripping his shirt.

In this package, he stars as a popcorn actor-director looking to prove he’s got more substance – by making a film about the Holocaust.

“The Last Day”
Cast: Alicia Vikander, Wagner Moura, Victoria Pedretti
Director: Rachel Rose

Up-and-coming director Rose (“Tryst,” “Are You Hungry?”) features Oscar winner Vikander in a story inspired by Virginia Woolf’s “Mrs. Dalloway.”

Over one summer day in New York, a mother and writer (Vikander) grappling with grief and stagnation confronts her life choices.

Star power includes The Secret Agent actor Moura.
