Cannes 2025: Love Me Dead Starring RJ Mitte and Dove Cameron to Screen at the Marche du Film

The film has its U.S. Theatrical Release Slotted for August 8, 2025.

LOS ANGELES, CA, UNITED STATES, May 5, 2025 /EINPresswire.com/ -- Love Me Dead, the darkly elegant thriller from GVN Releasing, will screen at the 2025 Marché du Film on Sunday, May 18 at 20:00 at Olympia 2. The film stars RJ Mitte (Breaking Bad) and Emmy Award-winner Dove Cameron (Schmigadoon!), and is being presented for global sales by Iris Indie Global.

Directed by Michael Morrissey (Boy Wonder), Love Me Dead is a seductive psychological noir that explores the dangerous territory between desire and delusion. When a man tormented by loss falls under the spell of a beautiful and mysterious woman, the line between truth and manipulation begins to dissolve—with deadly consequences.

RJ Mitte takes on the lead role of Vincent, continuing his evolution from Breaking Bad breakout to bonafide leading man. In addition to Love Me Dead, Mitte headlines the upcoming thrillers The Gateway Protocol and Spare Room, showcasing his range and growing international profile.

Opposite him is Dove Cameron as Ava, a magnetic and unpredictable presence whose agenda may be more sinister than it seems. Cameron, whose performances in Schmigadoon!, Field Notes on Love, and Girl Without have garnered critical acclaim, brings layered intensity and glamour to a standout role.

Produced by Joe Mundo and Delbert Whetter for GVN Releasing, Love Me Dead marks one of the most anticipated thrillers at Cannes this year.

“I was instantly drawn to the chemistry, suspense, and cinematic style of Love Me Dead,” said Milena Rimassa, President of Distribution at Iris Indie Global. “RJ and Dove are electric together, and the team at GVN has created a film with both global appeal and real artistic edge. We’re thrilled to be representing it at Cannes.”
