Despite having sold the docuseries, “Butchers of the Bayou” will be on the Croisette. “We are at Mipcom with ‘Butchers of the Bayou’ to say to channels, ‘This is what we’ve done with this series.

Rebecca Rubin Film and Media Reporter “Ticket to Paradise,” a romantic comedy that reunites Julia Roberts and George Clooney, is (surprise, surprise) charming audiences at the international box office.
