This movie could be a hit during the awards season.

Movies Made in Montana

What are the most successful films from Montana?

Montana might not be a hotbed for movie productions like California, Texas, or Georgia.

We've gotten better over the past few years.

We've seen some classics filmed in Montana, like A River Runs Through It, and a few Academy Award-nominated blockbusters, like Arrival, were set in Big Sky Country.

We have recently seen massive movie stars like Harrison Ford, Helen Mirren, Nicolas Cage, and others shoot films or TV shows in Montana.

The Montana Film Office and the local government have made strides to make our state more appealing for film and TV productions to shoot here.

Well, one movie is coming out soon, and even though the production wasn't in Montana, it's set here and could potentially be an awards contender.

The festival showcases some massive Hollywood blockbusters and potential award contenders.

Films like Elvis, Pan's Labyrinth, and Parasite have debuted at Cannes to incredible success.

A new movie will premiere at Cannes in a few weeks and is set in Montana.

Deadline reports Die, My Love will be one of Cannes' main film premieres.

Why is there so much hype around this movie? It's the cast.

The movie's cast has stars who have either won an Academy Award or were nominated.

The cast includes Jennifer Lawrence, Robert Pattinson, LaKeith Stanfield, Sissy Spacek, and Nick Nolte.

Die, My Love is based on the book and deals with a woman in the Montana countryside going through mental health issues as her marriage breaks up.

What's the downside? The movie's production was in Alberta, Canada.

Still, it will be fantastic to see a movie set in Montana get international recognition.
