Specialty B.O. Preview: ‘Trance’, ‘Upstream Color’, ‘Simon Killer’, ‘Free Angela & All Political Prisoners’, ‘Lotus Eaters’, ‘The Company You Keep’, ‘The Brass Teapot’

By THE DEADLINE TEAM | Thursday April 4, 2013 @ 4:26pm PDTTags: Simon Killer, Specialty Box Office, Trance, Upstream Color

Brian Brooks is a Deadline contributor

This week’s Specialty newcomers include Danny Boyle’s Trance from Fox Searchlight, IFC Films’ Simon Killer and self-distributed Sundance favorite Upstream Color. Trance will likely be the juggernaut of the group with its star-power in the form of James McAvoy, Rosario Dawson and Vincent Cassel, though Upstream Color could prove a hefty presence due to strong word of mouth and a loyal following from fans of Shane Carruth’s previous film, Primer. And the folks behind 2011 hit Martha Marcy May Marlene are opening Simon Killer, a dark drama set in Paris, via IFC Films. Free Angela & All Political Prisoners is this week’s documentary newcomer, while Lotus Eaters hopes to carve itself a piece of the limited release box office pie. Also set to bow, Robert Redford’s thriller The Company You Keep. The specialty world, meanwhile, took pause today as the news of Roger Ebert’s death spread. The famed critic will be remembered for being a champion of movies big and small and will be sorely missed.

Trance
Director: Danny Boyle
Writers: Joe Ahearne, John Hodge
Cast: James McAvoy, Rosario Dawson, Vincent Cassel, Danny Sapani
Distributor: Fox Searchlight

As part of its overall deal with Boyle, Searchlight has been on board Trance from the very start. “This is our sixth film we’ve done with Danny starting with 28 Days Later 10 years ago in 2003, and we’ve had a fabulous time,” Searchlight co-president Steve Gilula said in introducing the film at its New York premiere, hosted by The Cinema Society. “The one thing about Danny as a visionary filmmaker is he challenges us and challenges the audience and expects us to go with him…” Boyle introduced co-stars Dawson and Cassel before the screening in Chelsea, noting about the film: “What happens in the movie is deeply, deeply unethical,” he noted to laughs from an audience that included Patrick Stewart, Emma Watson, Kathleen Turner, Gina Gershon and Lou Reed & Laurie Anderson. “But it is clinically possible…”

Sean Durkin To Direct, Tony Grisoni To Script Channel 4 Mini ‘Southcliffe’

By NANCY TARTAGLIONE, International Editor | Friday, 24 August 2012 12:34 UKTags: Channel 4, Martha Marcy May Marlene, Sean Durkin

In an interesting pairing, Martha Marcy May Marlene helmer Sean Durkin will make his British TV debut with Channel 4 drama Southcliffe, based on a script by Tony Grisoni, who wrote the Red Riding trilogy for the net in 2009. Warp Films is producing the four-part Southcliffe to be aired in 2013.

Following a raft of shootings in a fictional English market town, the story is told through the eyes of a journalist and the tragedies’ victims. Grisoni calls it an “anthem to ordinary people’s ability to reinvent themselves in the face of ultimate darkness.” His similarly-themed neo-noir Red Riding crime trilogy achieved cult status in 2009. It was released theatrically by IFC in the U.S.

Durkin, who won the Best Director prize in Sundance with Martha Marcy, is also directing the feature indie, Joplin, next year. The $20M pic looks at the last 6 months in the singer’s career and has Tony-winning actress Nina Arianda lined up to star. Southcliffe‘s cast has yet to be set. Derrin Schlesinger is producing Soutchliffe with Peter Carlton exec producing for Warp Films. Sophie Gardiner exec produces for Channel 4.

Indie Vet Ted Hope Succeeds Bingham Ray As S.F. Film Society Exec Director

By MIKE FLEMING JR | Wednesday August 8, 2012 @ 12:39pm PDTTags: Big Deals Film, Bingham Ray
Mike Fleming

BREAKING: Veteran indie film producer Ted Hope has been named executive director of the San Francisco Film Society. He will start the job September 1. It is a surprise move. But Hope will leave New York City, where he was a pillar of the indie film movement through Good Machine, This Is That and Double Hope Films, to lead the Film Society into the future.

Hope succeeds Bingham Ray, who spent 10 months as the San Francisco Film Society’s executive director for only ten weeks before his untimely death during the Sundance Film Festival last January. Ray had just started the effort to reinvigorate the Film Society, bolstering its theatrical programming at SF Film Society Cinema, streamlining its communications and exploring dynamic digital initiatives intended to expand the reach of its film festival programs and educational efforts.

Ray in turn succeeded Graham Leggat, who served as the San Francisco Film Society’s executive director from October 2005 to June 2011 before his death from cancer in August 2011. Leggat oversaw the transformation of the organization from an annual fifteen-day film festival producer into a year-round cultural institution with a national impact, significantly increasing activity in all programmatic areas. The Film Society is 55 years old this year. Read More »

Mike Fleming

EXCLUSIVE: After her Tony Award-winning turn in Venus in Fur, Nina Arianda has gotten on Hollywood’s radar. She was just set to play Janis Joplin in the biopic to be directed by Martha Marcy May Marlene‘s Sean Durkin. Now, she has signed to play Italian film star Giulietta Masina, wife of filmmaker Federico Fellini, in Fellini Black and White. The film is being helmed by Henry Bromell, the consulting producer and writer of Homeland, and it’s produced by Andrew Lazar. Bromell wrote the script and shooting begins early next year. Arianda joins William H. Macy, Terrence Howard, Peter Dinklage, and Brazilian star Wagner Moura, who’ll play the iconic director.

Fellini Black and White takes place during Fellini and Masina’s visit to Los Angeles for the 1958 Academy Awards, where their film Nights of Cabiria won the Oscar for Best Foreign Language Film. Often called his muse, Masina was married to Fellini for fifty years until his passing in 1993, and she died months after her husband.

Arianda has also recently joined the cast of The Disappearance of Eleanor Rigby starring Jessica Chastain and James McAvoy. She emerged from NYU’s Graduate Acting Program and won the Venus in Fur audition with a single audition. She won the Tony for Best Lead Actress in a Play. She’s repped by ICM Partners.

Nina Arianda Janis Joplin MovieJoplin will be made for a budget under $20 million, with production to start early next year, said producer Peter Newman, who with his partners have spent the last 12 years trying to put an indie film together with rights that include exclusive use of 21 of Joplin’s best-known songs. He said Arianda will sing Joplin’s tunes in the film, and that she has the chops to do justice to Joplin’s signature gritty sound. Read More »

Jodie Foster Sending Mel Gibson Film ‘The Beaver’ To All Academy Members

By PETE HAMMOND | Friday February 10, 2012 @ 2:19pm PSTTags: Jodie Foster, Mel Gibson, The Beaver
Pete Hammond

EXCLUSIVE: In an unprecedented move this late in Oscar season, two-time Academy Award winning actress and director Jodie Foster, with the help of her film’s distributor Summit Entertainment, is sending DVD screeners of The Beaver (the Mel Gibson film she directed and co-starred in) to the entire membership of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts & Sciences. Summit tells me they expect to start shipping Monday so the Academy  members should have this in their mailboxes by Wednesday.

That’s right. The Beaver. It’s NOT nominated for a single Oscar — or any other award for that matter. It opened and closed quickly last May in the wake of  Gibson’s latest scandal and grossed just under $1 million in its brief, unsuccessful U.S. run. Although reviews were mixed it did receive a 69% fresh rating among critics on Rotten Tomatoes and, despite his personal woes, Gibson got some of the best personal notices of his career. But when awards season arrived Summit nixed a campaign and did not send out screeners to the Academy as they did for two other movies, 50/50 and A Better Life (the first screener sent to Academy members on September 7).

The fact that there were no screeners and no Oscar nominations has not deterred Foster who feels strongly about her movie and wants it to be seen by her peers. In a letter that will accompany the DVD (read the letter here), Foster begins by writing: “It is unusual to get a screener after the Oscar nominations have been … Read More »

Sundance: 10 Producers To Keep Watching

By BRIAN BROOKS | Saturday January 28, 2012 @ 3:39pm PSTTags: 2012 Sundance Film Festival

Sundance has no shortage of producers and producers-to-be scurrying around Park City. So Deadline has assembled a Top 10 to keep an eye on post-fest. Some are fairly new to producing while others more established but all their careers are moving up:

Dan Janvey, Josh Penn, Michael Gottwald – Beasts Of The Southern Wild
This trio’s credits producing shorts include Benh Zeitlin’s Glory At Sea. ButZeitlin’s much lauded Beasts Of The Southern Wild went from standing ovation to Fox Searchlight acquisition this week. They are all part of a filmmaking/artist group based in Louisiana dubbed Court 13, a self-described collective of “madcap artists and animators of junk that seek to tell huge stories out of small parts.” The group professes a DIY attitude to make “films about communities as a community.”

Jason Michael Berman - LUV
After producing a series of shorts in the early 2000s, Berman co-produced his first feature The Dry Land which screened in competition at 2010 Sundance and won Best New International Feature at Edinburgh. He returned to Sundance with Jess + Moss in 2011 in addition to producing two other films. LUV about a shy 11-year-old boy who forms a bond with his troubled uncle screened in competition. Currently he is completing Brian Dannelly’s Struck By Lightning with Allison Janney, Chris Colfer, Sarah Hyland, Christina Hendricks, Dermot Mulroney, Rebel  Wilson.

Marie-Therese Guirgis and Lucas Joaquin - Keep The Lights On
Her former producer credits include 2003′s cult hit Tarnation and doc Unknown White Male but Guirgis is known for her connections, passion and energy. She made an indelible mark on U.S. distribution as a principal at Wellspring Media releasing a treasure trove of indie and foreign-language films including … Read More »

Sundance Lucky 13: Actors & Directors With New or Renewed Buzz

By BRIAN BROOKS | Saturday January 28, 2012 @ 7:11am PSTTags: Sundance Film Festival

The Sundance Film Festival has always helped define actors and directors or redefine those who choose to expand their resumes. As the film festival draws to a close, here are the Lucky 13 (in alphabetical order) who have caught new or renewed buzz after their films debuted in recent days:


Katie Aselton, actress/director - Black Rock
Aselton received acting buzz ahead of Sundance for her role in Black Rock and she’s getting more now as the director of this island thriller. Black Rock is Aselton’s second helmer following The Freebie which debuted at the 2010 Sundance. She broke out (along with husband Mark Duplass) at the 2005 Sundance with an acting role in The Puffy Chair.

Malik Bendjelloul, director - Searching For Sugar Man
Sony Classics picked up this first time feature filmmaker’s pic out of Sundance. The Swede previously directed a number of short documentaries about music icons including Madonna, Elton John, Bjork, Sting, Rod Stewart, and Kraftwerk. He returns to music with his latest about two South Africans who try to find their unlikely 1970s-era music hero, rock’n’ roller Rodriguez.

Antonio Campos, director – Simon Killer
Campos knows this latest film, his second feature as director, will divide audiences and that’s fine with him.  He’s part of the filmmaking team Borderline Films which brought Martha Marcy May Marlene to Sundance last year. (Campos was a … Read More »

Sundance Screenings Finale: The Highs, The Lows, The Polarizing Films

By BRIAN BROOKS | Saturday January 28, 2012 @ 3:46am PSTTags: 2012 Sundance Film Festival

As the Sundance Film Festival wraps, two films are the prevailing standouts — The Surrogate and Beasts Of The Southern Wild. But Red Lights and Filly Brown have been the titles consistently coming up short along with Lay The Favorite. Sundance founder Robert Redford warned attendees on Day One to explore the fest’s various nooks and crannies before guessing which films would be hits or misses. Here’s my reporting:

FEATURES
The Surrogate, directed by Ben Lewin
This film is the obvious commercial hit and awards contender coming out of Sundance this year and it already caught a $6 million acquisition deal as Deadline reported Monday. This film proves that there are still films that arrive with little fanfare and then break out. Starring Helen Hunt (in a terrific performance) and John Hawkes and William H. Macy, pic centers on a man who is confined to an iron lung and at age 38 makes it a goal to lose his virginity. All the buzz bodes well for Lewin who proves that reinventing yourself is possible at any age. Born in 1946, Lewin has a bevy of TV writing and directing credits with a sprinkling of features like Georgiawhich received two AFI Award nominations way back in 1989.

Beasts Of The Southern Wild directed by Benh Zeitlin
This is the fest’s artistic smash to date. The filmmakers had the “dream” Sundance premiere at the Eccles Theatre complete with a standing ovation and immediate buzz at hobnobbing events. Instantly speculation began about who would snag the film populated by unknown actors. Fox Searchlight did. This is the first film by co-writer/director Benh Zeitlin and the team behind Court 13. ”Court 13 is an ethos we have on approaching a story and production,” Zeitlin told me. “The arc is made through homemade objects, actors that are non-professional, and a crew that is chosen for their courage and art rather than pure skill.”

Your Sister’s Sister directed by Lynn Shelton
This film about grief had its U.S. debut at Sundance after a Toronto fest premiere initiated buzz. Sundance’s comparatively smaller lineup is giving the film some breathing room and good word of mouth for performances by Emily Blunt, Rosemarie DeWitt, Mark Duplass, and Mike Birbiglia. The film follows Jack who is grieving over his bother’s loss and heads to his father’s cabin unaware that a woman is already staying there with similar circumstances.
