Filed under: Sundance », Festival Reports »
It wasn't all just snow and screenings at Sundance for the Cinematical; every chance we had, we were snapping pics as well. Here's a round-up of the best of our Sundance pics (more photos past the jump).
Sundance Deals: Darwin Awards
Filed under: Comedy », Deals », Sundance », Distribution »
A few hours after leaving last night's press
screening of Finn Taylor's The Darwin Awards, my phone started blowing up with the news that the thing had
been bought. Rights were picked up by Bauer Martinez – the new kids on the block, who came out of relative
obscurity to pick up Harsh Times at Toronto – in a deal brokered sometime after the pic's Wednesday
night public premiere. Darwin has an all-star cast, including Winona Ryder, Joseph Fiennes, the late Chris
Penn, poet laureate Lawrence Ferlinghetti, and Metallica as Metallica. The film, a takeoff on the website which
"awards" those unlucky enough to get themselves killed in idiotic ways, was shot on video in and around San
Francisco.
Variety had no financial details to report, but we'll pass them along as soon as we can.
