Sundance ’10: Bidding War Over Vincenzo Natali’s ‘Splice’
A bidding war broke out at Sundance last weekend over Vincenzo Natali’s sci-fi entry Splice (review), which stars Adrien Brody and Sarah Polley. But it wasn’t the typical contest in which distributors vie to see who is willing to pay the most for rights to the hot movie of the moment. Instead, the suitors were offering service deals, under which a movie’s producers pay them an upfront fee and a percentage of boxoffice returns to get the film into theaters (read more here)…. While they also employ traditional acquisition deals, Bob Berney and Bill Pohlad’s new Apparition, the Weinstein Co., Newmarket Films, First Look Studios and Samuel Goldwyn Films were all in the race Tuesday to land a Splice theatrical agreement with some sort of service deal. Sony Pictures Home Entertainment already owns home video rights, which could help Samuel Goldwyn Films win out. Click the title above for more info on the movie.
Described as a heart pounding thriller set in the future, Jennifer Hudson and Milla Jovovich lead the cast of Breathe, and Bloody Disgusting has an exclusive clip for you today.
Breathe comes to theaters and Digital on April 26, 2024.
Both Hudson and Jovovich are featured in this clip from Capstone Global / Warner Brothers’ sci-fi thriller, and you’ll also find the previously released trailer underneath the clip.
In the film, “After Earth is left uninhabitable due to lack of oxygen, a mother Maya (Hudson) and her daughter Zora (Wallis) are forced to live underground, with short trips to the surface only made possible by a coveted state of the art oxygen suit made by Maya’s husband, Darius, whom she presumes to be dead. When a mysterious couple arrives claiming to know Darius and his fate, Maya tentatively agrees to let them into their bunker but these visitors are not who they claim to be ensuing in mother and daughter fighting for survival.”
Stefon Bristol directed Breathe, written by Doug Simon. The impressive cast also includes Quvenzhané Wallis and Raúl Castillo with Common and Sam Worthington.
The film is Rated PG-13 for bloody violence and strong language.
