One of the movies to be premiered at the Cannes Film Festival was announced a couple of weeks ago. Brand Pele, an acclaimed soccer star in Brazil, is the subject of this particular animated movie. Cannes will be giving him a red-carpet entrance and Pele will be auctioning off some football ( or soccer if you are native to the US) memoribilia.
The movie budget is said to be $63 million. I would venture to say, if you have not heard of Pele (as I had not) then you will most likely have the opportunity to become acquainted with his life story in a few months, assuming the movie is picked up for distribution at the festival.
