Now that Miramax is its own entity, 2011 should see the rollout of several films that should have been released last year when the the Mickey Mouse ears at Disney were the keepers of these titles. One that barely made it out — it received some fall film festival showings and with a cast like this, has since been released in other territories. Now the new owners at Miramax are being careful in releasing their “first” title by fusing with Tribeca Film who’ll now take care of the theatrical launch of Massy Tadjedin’s Last Night — timed for a release this Spring.
The Gist: This follows a married couple, (Keira Knightley and Sam Worthington) separated for a night when the husband takes a business trip with a colleague he desires (Eva Mendes). While he’s away, his wife encounters her past love (Guillaume Canet).
Worth Noting: Mentioned in the press release — check out this talent: Clint Mansell (Black Swan) is the film’s composer, and cinematography is by Peter Deming (Mulholland Dr.).
Do We Care?: This was the closing night title at TIFF last year and we purposely didn’t bother with it — however, seeing that March-April are still slow months for worthy theatrical releases, we may just finally venture out and see the film which the Miramax folks mention that Movieline called it “Before Sunrise meets Eyes Wide Shut”.
