According to foreign media, the film will hit theaters on the same day as the premiere in Cannes, France.
Maven herself will appear in the title role in the film, describing herself as Madame Dibari as “a young middle-class woman who craves culture and pleasure. She uses her wit and visual appeal to move up the social hierarchy, eventually becoming the favorite of King Louis XV.” .
