Academy Award-winning actor Kevin Spacey (Horrible Bosses, American Beauty) and Golden Globe nominee Robin Wright (The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo), stars of the much anticipated Netflix commission, House of Cards, are confirmed to attend the MIPCOM content market that runs in Cannes, France from 8 to 11 October.
Also attending the market will be the film’s Academy Award-nominated writer Beau Willimon (The Ides of March). From Academy Award-nominated director, David Fincher (The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo, The Social Network), House of Cards is a wicked one-hour drama from Media Rights Capital that slithers behind the curtain of power, sex, ambition, love, greed and corruption in modern Washington D.C. Netflix has ordered two 13-episode seasons, with the first season to premiere in 2013.
The one-hour drama, which is based on the BBC series of the same name, is produced by Donen/Fincher/Roth and Trigger Street Productions, Inc. in association with Media Rights Capital for Netflix. The international distributor is Sony Pictures Television.
