    Every year, while the stars and auteurs come out for the Cannes Film Festival, the international industry gathers for Le Marché du Film — the market that happens at the same time, in the same building. While the fest is glitzy and prestigious, the Marché is all about business, with companies from around the world offering up movies that are sometimes serious, sometimes schlocky, and sometimes haven't even been made yet.

    Here are 14 highlights from the market this year. Brace yourselves.

    1. Kamasutra 3D

    The title for this "high-concept" vampire musical starring Backstreet Boy Kevin Richardson makes jokes a little too easy.

    3. Eat

    Here's guessing this is not the kind of movie you watch during dinner.

    4. He Never Died

    This cast could not possibly get better.

    7. Archie: Robodog

    Entirely for the face Jackson Rathbone is making.

    9. The Depend Bles

    Alison Willmore/BuzzFeed

    A slightly more seasoned take on The Expendables.

    10. Falcon Rising

    Not quite the Marvel character.

    11. I Am a Wolf

    Alison Willmore/BuzzFeed

    This Chinese animated movie may be aiming for Miyazaki, but its characters here are looking more like nightmare fuel.

    12. Polanski

    Alison Willmore/BuzzFeed

    Damian Chapa didn't just write and direct this "unauthorized" biopic, he also cast himself as Roman Polanski.

    13. Mantivities

    Alison Willmore/BuzzFeed

    Chris Pine actually co-wrote this comedy, but it hasn't been shot yet, so there's still time for us to convince him that "mantivities" are not a thing.

    14. Zoombies

    Sold.
