Australian Defence Force—Reuters  by [Dan Kedmey](https://time.com/author/dan-kedmey/)  ## Dan Kedmey May 19, 2014 6:30 PM UTC If the Cannes Film Festival had an award for most squirm-inducing production, it would surely go to the producers of a new thriller telling the “real” story of the still-missing Malaysian Airlines jet. _The Vanishing Act: The Untold Story of the Missing Malaysian Plane_ is the brainchild of Indian film company Rupesh Paul Productions, and purports to tell the hidden story of Flight 370 based on an investigative report that was widely discredited, as the director himself [remarked](http://edition.cnn.com/2014/05/19/business/cannes-mh370/index.html) to CNN. “It is definitely controversial,” said Rupesh Paul. Little more than two months have passed since the Malaysia Airlines jet vanished with 239 people on board, and in that time the film production team has given the film a title, printed 8-page promotional brochures, edited a trailer and, according to Paul, courted interested investors from China and Malaysia. Paul’s previous productions include the “epic of all epics” [Kamasutra 3D](http://kamasutra3d.in/) and [Saint Dracula 3D.](http://www.saintdracula3d.com/) \[[CNN](http://edition.cnn.com/2014/05/19/business/cannes-mh370/index.html)\] ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/105054/flight-370-movie-cannes-malaysian/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/105054/flight-370-movie-cannes-malaysian/"},"headline":"MH370 Movie Plumbs New Depths of Bad Taste at Cannes","datePublished":"2014-05-19T18:30:23.000Z","dateModified":"2026-02-21T07:55:30.058Z","description":"Malaysia Airlines Flight 370 and the 239 people aboard haven't even been found yet, but an opportunistic filmmaker is already shopping a movie in Cannes telling the \"true\" story of what happened to the vanished jet","url":"https://time.com/105054/flight-370-movie-cannes-malaysian/","keywords":["movies","MH370","Malaysia Airlines Flight 370","Cannes"],"thumbnailUrl":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt2b876247f967ac7d/69868a64adae449caa54284a/2014-04-10t060349z_1295183454_gm1ea4a1.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Dan Kedmey","jobTitle":null,"url":"https://time.com/author/dan-kedmey/"}],"articleSection":"Entertainment","image":[{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt2b876247f967ac7d/69868a64adae449caa54284a/2014-04-10t060349z_1295183454_gm1ea4a1.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","width":1200,"height":675,"headline":"Malaysia Airline","caption":"Malaysia Airline","creditText":"Australian Defence Force—Reuters","representativeOfPage":true}],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/section/entertainment/","name":"Entertainment"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"/tag/movies/","name":"movies"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":3,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/105054/flight-370-movie-cannes-malaysian/","name":"MH370 Movie Plumbs New Depths of Bad Taste at Cannes"}}]}] ```
