Cannes Market Dailies

40 years after his iconic debut on the Croisette, Cannes Film Festival veteran Arnold Schwarzenegger is set to return with the striking documentary Wonders of the Sea 3D.

Schwarzenegger alongside the film’s director and well known explorer and environmentalist Jean-Michel Cousteau will introduce Wonders of the Sea 3D at a special screening on Saturday 20^th May at the Olympia 2.

Joining Schwarzenegger and Cousteau will be fellow producer François Mantello and the co-director Jean-Jacques Mantello, the distinguished underwater explorers and filmmakers who founded the cutting-edge 3D filmmaking company 3D Entertainment Films in 2001. Acclaimed underwater Cinematographer Gavin McKinney will also join the team in Cannes.

Conquistador Entertainment, helmed by President Pascal Borno and Chief Operating Officer Alain Gillissen, is handling worldwide sales for the spectacular underwater 3D film.

“3D Entertainment Films has produced a breathtaking and important film and we are delighted to be in partnership with them to bring Wonders of the Sea 3D to a global audience,” said Borno. “It is an honor to work with so many acclaimed professionals such as Jean-Michel Cousteau, Arnold Schwarzenegger, Jean-Jacques and Francois Mantello behind this incredible film that is dedicated to visual excellence and a message of beauty and survival.” 

Thanks to new breakthrough 3D filming techniques, millions of viewers will dive into a new and virtually unknown underwater world without ever getting wet! Directed by Jean-Michel Cousteau and narrated by Arnold Schwarzenegger, WONDERS OF THE SEA 3D is a visual feast with an important message, which will make audiences of all ages fall in love with the ocean and ultimately make them want to protect it. From Fiji to the Bahamas, Jean Michel Cousteau and his children Celine and Fabien embark on a voyage to discover the ocean as never seen before and learn more about the threats that put our ocean at risk.

This is the second-time Arnold has embraced Cannes to support a film close to his heart. Wonders of the Sea 3D marks the anniversary of Arnold’s iconic Cannes debut in 1977, where he flexed his world-famous physique on the Croisette to promote weightlifting documentary Pumping Iron.
