Saturday's Important News: The Sundance Acquisition Edition
We're getting the heck out of Park City today, so that's why this entire bit will be devoted to the news you can use from Sundance.
- -Waiting for Superman was the first festival film to be acquired, despite having done so the day before the fest began.
- -Buried was acquired by Lionsgate and will likely emerge sometime in '09.
- -Holy Rollers has its' French rights acquired by Flache Pyramide. No U.S. distributor yet.
- -Twelve is picked up by Hannover House, who no one has ever heard of before.
- -The Killer Inside Me goes to IFC's VOD/Theater model and the Berlin Film Festival.
- -Blue Valentine gets acquired by The Weinstein Company for all of Harvey's crying/masturbation needs after Miramax's death.
- -Hesher went relatively early to Newmarket because people loved (500) Days of Summer.
- -Undertow goes to Wolfe Releasing.
- -The Kids Are All Right will bring the phrase "watch her get Ruffaloed" into our lexicon thanks to Focus Features.
If we're forgetting any, leave it in the comments. Otherwise keep an eye out tonight as the Awards for Sundance 2010 will be announced. We'll be back in a bit with what we'd like to win, but probably won't.
