#65. 2 Days in New York

Director/Writer: Julie Delpy
Producers: Scott Franklin, Ulf Israel, Christophe Mazodier, Jean-Jacques Neira, Hubert Toint
Distributor: Rights Available

The Gist: This centers again Marion (Delpy), who has broken up with Jack and now lives in New York with their children. Her Parisian family come to visit her, but the cultural differences between her eccentric father and new American boyfriend will turn out to be explosive. Meanwhile, her sister has had the “good” idea of bringing an ex-boyfriend from Paris and there is the pressure of an upcoming photography exhibition…(more)

Cast: Julie Delpy, Chris Rock and Dylan Baker

List Worthy Reasons…: The notion of sequels are made more magical whenever Julie Delpy is involved. Her writing and character development in Linklater’s Before Sunrise/Sunset makes us especially hopeful for her 2 Days transatlantic gigs. We expect nutty cast of characters and a nuttier premise this time out.

Release Date/Status?: Sundance Film Festival premiere should be followed by a rights pick up and a showing before the fall season hits.

Ken Russell’s The Devils – 2010 Fantasia International Film Festival

Iconic director Ken Russell was in town to receive a lifetime achievement award from Fantasia for his 50-plus years in the business, a career that has spawned many genre classics including Altered States, Gothic, and The Lair of the White Worm. But it was the little-seen and hard to find The Devils from 1971 that proved to be Russell's most controversial work, and Fantasia managed to snag a copy to be screened on Russell's big night. In the video, Russell discusses the true story behind the film and receives his award with the grace befitting one of the great filmmakers of all time.
