More TFF 2010 Pickups
We are delighted to report that two TFF 2010 films have announced distribution deals in the past week!
Last week, Variety (link requires login) reported that New York-based Elephant Eye Films secured the U.S. rights for Kim Chapiron's Dog Pound, a gritty narrative feature that takes an unsentimental look at the American juvenile justice system. For his efforts, Chapiron won the Best New Narrative Filmmaker Award at the 2010 Tribeca Film Festival.
Then just today, Codeblack Entertainment acquired Thomas Ikimi's Legacy for a North American release later this year. Legacy stars both Idris Elba and Eamonn Walker in a political thriller that goes undercover with Black Ops soldiers bent on exposing drug dealers and corruption. Shadowandact.com reports that ActNow New Voices In Black Cinema Screening Series will sneak preview the movie in August. More details to come...
And if that's not enough excitement, you can now watch the first 5 minutes of another TFF alum, J Blakeson's The Disappearance of Alice Creed, which will open in theaters this August. The British thriller film stars former Bond girl Gemma Arterton in the title role, with Eddie Marsan and Martin Compston as the two blokes who turn Alice's life into a living hell. Enjoy!
