Exclusive: Oscar nominee Tim Roth (Pulp Fiction), Cristo Fernández (Ted Lasso) and Martha Higareda Howes (Queens on the Run) are set to star in comedy Holy Molé, which Odin’s Eye will be selling at the upcoming Cannes market.

Higareda Howes is also executive-producing with her prodco NeverEnding Media.
