Directed by Karim Aïnouz, Firebrand received its first official screening as it competes for the prestigious Palm d’Or at this year’s ceremony.
Firebrand, a screenplay by Jessica and Henrietta Ashworth, is based on the 2013 novel Queen’s Gambit by Elizabeth Fremantle.
It focuses on the story of Catherine Parr, the sixth and last wife of Henry VIII, who was King of England from April 22, 1509 until his death in 1547.
The project is Karim Aïnouz’s first directorial work in the English language.
Firebrand was announced at the 2021 American Film Market, with Michelle Williams being the first to star alongside Jude in the lead roles.
However, Alicia later replaced Michelle as Catherine Parr in March 2022, while Jude plays Henry VIII.

In May of the same year, Sam Riley was announced as Thomas Seymour, Eddie Marsan as Edward Seymour, Simon Russell Beale as Stephen Gardiner, and Erin Doherty as Anne Askew.
Filming for the film began in April last year and production took place at Hadden Hall in Bakewell, Derbyshire, until June.
The official synopsis reads: ‘In blood-soaked Tudor England, Katherine Parr, the sixth and last wife of King Henry VIII, is made regent while tyrant Henry fights abroad.
“Katherine has done everything she can to strive for a new future based on her radical Protestant beliefs.
When an increasingly sick and paranoid King returns, he turns his anger on the radicals, accuses Katherine’s childhood friend of treason and burns her at the stake.
Shocked and saddened, but forced to deny it, Katherine fights for her own survival. Conspiracy echoes through the palace.

“Everyone holds their breath – for the queen to slip, for Henry to take her head as before wives.
“With the hope of a future free of tyranny at stake, will Katherine submit to the inevitable for the king and country’s sake?”
This year’s festival promises a Côte d’Azur buffet of spectacle, scandal and cinema served over the next 12 days.
It unfolds against the backdrop of labor unrest. Protests that have rocked France in recent months over changes to the pension system will take place during the festival, albeit at a distance from the main festival hub.
Meanwhile, an ongoing strike by screenwriters in Hollywood could have unpredictable consequences for the French Riviera festival.
But with a festival full of highly anticipated, big-budget films, including James Mangold’s Indiana Jones and the Dial of the Destiny and Martin Scorsese’s Killers of the Flower Moon, the party is sure to go on.
