Marta Balaga IFC Films has acquired Xavier Gens’ action spectacle “Mayhem!” (“Farang”) from Studiocanal ahead of its premiere at Montreal’s Fantasia Film Festival. Produced by Vincent Roget (Same Player) and Dimitri Stephanides (WTFilms), “Mayhem!” will be released in 2024. “Xavier Gens has crafted an energetic and propulsive film, showcasing some of the most impressive fight choreography we have ever seen,” said Scott Shooman, head of AMC Networks’ Film Group.

This profound desire to achieve personal redemption gives this narrative a deep and relatable quality,” he added. Lyes was already spotted in Prime Video’s “Overdose,” directed by Olivier Marchal, and will be featured in the upcoming season of
