The pop band Sparks is hitting the big screen in a major way this year.

“We’ve been trying over the years to do a movie musical,” Ron Mael tells EW.
These projects only led to super disappointment.
The fact thatAnnettehas actually happened and is the opening night film at Cannes is absolutely surreal.
We couldn’t be more pleased.
The cast is kind of ridiculous with Adam Driver and Marion Cotillard.
Without sounding too arrogant about it, I think it really is a new form for movie musicals.
We’re just so proud of it and the job that Leos Carax did."
Annetteis released in cinemas Aug. 6 and on Amazon Prime Aug. 20.
