Martin Scorsese is joining Bahman Ghobadi’s upcoming horror film “Trees Are Watching” as an executive producer, ahead of its world premiere at the Toronto International Film Festival on Friday. The film stars Eva Green and is described by outlets as a horror project directed by Ghobadi, known for works including “Turtles Can Fly” and “A Time for Drunken Horses.”
Both sources frame Scorsese’s involvement as part of an ongoing professional relationship with Ghobadi. Deadline notes their long-term support for each other’s work and points to a history of collaboration dating back to at least 2012. ComingSoon.net similarly reports the executive producer role and highlights the lead casting of Green, along with the timing of the TIFF screening.
While the core news is consistent across outlets—Scorsese’s executive producer credit, Ghobadi’s direction, Green’s starring role, and the film’s Friday TIFF bow—the articles primarily differ in emphasis. Deadline focuses more on the relationship and background, while ComingSoon.net foregrounds additional project details alongside the premiere timing.
