Sebastian Stan and Leo Woodall will star for Justin Kurzel in Burning Rainbow Farm, which Rocket Science will introduce to buyers in Cannes next week.
Tommy Murphy adapted the screenplay from the novel by Dean Kuipers. The true story follows Tom Crosslin and Rollie Rohm, a couple in rural Michigan who build a peaceful, pot-friendly utopia called Rainbow Farm. When the two fall foul of local authorities and their son is taken from them, a major stand-off ensues.
Burning Rainbow Farm is being produced by Nicole O’Donohue, Kurzel, and Alexandra Taussig for Thirdborn, with Adam Shulman of Anonymous Content, Alix Madigan of Mad Dog Films, and Justin Lothrop and Brent Stiefel of Votiv.
Stan earned an Oscar nomination earlier this year for 2024 Cannes selection The Apprentice and stars in the number one global release Thunderbolts*. Woodall’s credits include The White Lotus and Bridget Jones: Mad About The Boy.
CAA Media Finance handles North American rights.
Kurzel said: “Burning Rainbow is a love story about two outliers who raise their middle finger to hate and declare ‘This is who we are, and we dare you to take it from us.’ I’m excited to create this loveable and courageous couple with Sebastian and Leo. Their union will be one to remember.”
