Wild Bunch is bringing four new projects to this week's Unifrance Rendez-Vous with French Cinema in Paris. The sales company will introduce a promo reel of Philippe Muyl's Magic!, a family film about a boy, his single mother and the healing power of the circus. Marie Gillain stars with Louis Dussol, Antoine Dulery and singer Cali. Paramount France is handing French distribution.

Filmmaker Antoine de Maximy, known for his TV series I'm Spending The Night At Your Place, takes his show on the road in the US with Hollywood: I'm Sleeping Over Tonight. The documentary will follow de Maximy across the US as he meets the locals and eventually lands in Hollywood where he may spend the night at the home of one of Tinseltown's biggest stars. The film is produced by Bonne Pioche and a promo reel will be available at the Rendez-Vous.

Arnaud Desplechin brings together a pedigree cast that includes Catherine Deneuve, Mathieu Amalric, Melvil Poupaud, Chiara Mastroianni, Emmanuelle Devos and Anne Consigny for A Christmas Tale. The story revolves around a family that has never recovered from the loss of a child and its reconciliation when another family member falls gravely ill. It will be ready for Cannes. Into The Wild cinematographer Eric Gautier shot the film which is produced by Why Not Productions. Wild Bunch Distribution is handling the French release.

For Park Benches, Bruno Podalydes borrows from Desplechin's cast with a star-studded ensemble piece which includes turns from Deneuve, Amalric, Mastroianni and Devos as well as Thierry Lhermitte, Josiane Balasko, Pierre Arditi, Julie Depardieu, Nicole Garcia and Benoit Poelvoorde among others. The day-in-the-life comedy is a variation on Podalydes' 1992 film Versailles Rive-Gauche. UGC is releasing in France.
