Apple has acquired the rights to the upcoming sci-fi romantic feature film Nails through Deadline. Ahead of the festival, the package was featured as one of the hottest properties for sale on the Cannes market. The film will stream worldwide exclusively on Apple TV+.
The film stars Jesse Buckley and Riz Ahmed. Apple Original Films closed the deal on Saturday for an undisclosed price.
The premise of Nails is that the test can reveal whether married couples are truly in love. Means have been created to suggest functional relationships based on the results of these tests. Ahmed’s character, Trevor, works as a love instructor. Buckley’s character Anna is skeptical of their success.
Apple TV+’s film division has made some big acquisitions and award-winning successes in recent years. In March, Apple became the first streaming service to win the Best Picture Oscar for CODA. The next movie to premiere on the service will be Cha Cha Real Smooth, debuting June 17, which Apple acquired from Sundance.
