Jenna Ortega Signs To Star In Leos Carax’s ‘Lily May B’ Ahead Of Spring 2027 Shoot

Jenna Ortega has been announced as the star of Leos Carax‘s upcoming seventh feature film Lily May B ahead of its shoot next spring.

The official synopsis reads: “Once upon a time, there was a little girl, a young woman and a young boy. They each held a secret too heavy to bear. They met in an ‘end-of-the-world’ world, and together rode a big motorcycle (through empty cities, deserted freeways, immemorial forests). On their journey, they encountered many dangers, but kept going. In search of who they were; in search of a place to B, maybe?”

“Once upon a time, this is what destroyed us, and this is what kept us alive,” said Carax, in a characteristically enigmatic quote.

The film is produced by Hugo Sélignac at Mediawan production company Chi-Fou-Mi Productions

“Leos Carax is one of the reasons I fell in love with Cinema,” he said. “Lily May B carries forward his singular vision with the freedom, raw emotion, and visual power that are uniquely his. Seeing this universe meet Jenna Ortega’s immense talent today feels simply natural. We will announce in September the whole extraordinary cast.”

Chi-Fou-Mi is in competition in Cannes this year with Jeanne Herry’s Another Day (Garance).

Jenna Ortega is represented by CAA, Jeff Hynick and Viewpoint.
