Gaumont has officially acquired the international rights for the French legal drama 'Women On Trial'. The film stars Charlotte Gainsbourg as a pioneering defense attorney in the mid-20th century. Directed by Stéphane Brizé, the story focuses on a landmark case that challenged systemic gender bias within the French judicial system.

The film is being positioned as a prestige social thriller with a focus on historical accuracy. Principal photography is set to begin this autumn in Paris. Supporting roles will be played by Niels Arestrup and Céline Sallette, adding significant depth to the courtroom ensemble.

Gaumont plans to debut the film at major international film festivals in 2027. Experts predict the movie will be a strong contender for awards due to Brizé's gritty, realistic directing style. The project marks another major collaboration between top tier French talent and global distribution giants.
