French screen legend Isabelle Huppert is set to star in her first British film, “Lineage,” the hot new feature from acclaimed filmmaker Yann Demange (“Top Boy,” “71”). She’ll star opposite Dali Benssalah, Adam Bessa and award-winning global recording artist Raye in a breakout screen role.

The high-profile crime drama is set to launch international sales at the Marché du Film during this year’s Cannes Film Festival. Veterans will lead international sales, with CAA Media Finance representing U.S. rights. Principal photography is scheduled to begin in London in early August.

The project also reunites Huppert and Bessa, who co-star in “Parallel Tales,” Asghar Farhadi’s latest feature premiering in competition at Cannes.
