Filming is running through Thursday \u2014 and shooting into the wee hours. As <em>Variety <\/em>previously reported, the plot of this season revolves around two rival film teams that come to the festival with movies in competition, with one staying at the H\u00f4tel Martinez (rebranded White Lotus Cannes) and the other at a luxurious hilltop hideaway (White Lotus du Cap \u2014 which actually filmed in Saint-Tropez).<\/p>\n<p>\n\tOn Tuesday, Laura Dern and actress Marissa Long were spotted on the famous Palais steps, with Dern turning heads in a long strapless black gown with pink feathers. Dern, who took over from Helena Bonham Carter,\u00a0is believed to play a washed-out star chasing a comeback, and is part of the \u201cWhite Lotus du Cap\u201d film team. She was filming a tense sequence in which she storms out of a screening visibly furious.<\/p>\n<p>\n\tThen on Wednesday, a different group descended on the Palais for what appears to be an even more explosive scene set against the chaos of the festival\u2019s closing night. Ari Graynor, Steve Coogan, Max Greenfield and Kumail Nanjiani were seen exiting the theater while filming what sources describe as a fight sequence.<\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/relocationobserver.com\/?p=918\">Scooter Braun Opens Up About Taylor Swift, Kanye West, Spencer Pratt and (Briefly) Sydney Sweeney in New 90-Minute \u2018Second Thought\u2019 Interview<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\n\tThe scenes align with what producer David Bernad described earlier this year as a season delivering a satire on the film industry, and charting \u201cthe ups and downs of the festival and the pain of being here and the love and excitement of being here.\u201d If the closing-night setting holds for the finale, the Palais scenes being shot this week may well rank among the most dramatic moments of the season. <\/p>\n<p>\n\tAs in previous seasons (set in Hawaii, Sicily and Thailand), comedy will be fueled by cultural friction involving demanding American guests and stubborn French hotel staff, but there will also be some sexy hookups between guests and workers, according to sources.<\/p>\n<p>\n\tOnce the Cannes shoot wraps, production will move to Paris for the month of June, filming interiors at the storied Lutetia Hotel, a Parisian landmark built in 1910, before shifting to a studio. After the summer, the crew is expected to return to the South of France to continue filming. Boasting a budget of around $120 million, Season 4 is shaping up to be the most ambitious shoot ever to use the festival as its central setting.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/relocationobserver.com\/?p=916\">Nick Bilton, New \u201860 Minutes\u2019 Boss, Wants Newsmagazine to Stick on Digital, Mobile Screens<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>HBO&#8217;s &#8216;The White Lotus&#8217; season 4 has taken over Cannes&#8217; Palais des Festivals, recreating a dramatic fictional closing night with Laura Dern.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":921,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[54],"tags":[930,931,932],"class_list":["post-922","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-tv","tag-laura-dern","tag-steve-coogan","tag-the-white-lotus"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.6 -
