IFC Films ‘Inhale’ Another Film From Baltasar Kormakur

The country of Mexico is really getting a bad rap in film these days.

After having paired with the Icelandic director on Jar City, IFC Films have bought the rights to Baltasar Kormakur’s latest thriller, Inhale. Such as 2005’s A Little Trip to Heaven, Kormakur worked with English-speaking actors in Dermot Mulroney, Diane Kruger and a supporting cast that includes Sam Shepard, Rosanna Arquette, Vincent Perez and Jordi Molla.

Scripted by Christian Escario with a John Claflin rewrite, formerly titled Run for Her Life, Mulroney plays a district attorney whose daughter contracts a rare illness and needs new lungs. After discovering she’s low on the official U.S. waiting list, he heads to Mexico to buy his way onto their list. But his ethical nature is put to the test when he has to choose between saving hundreds of children being killed for their organs or saving his daughter’s life.

Variety reports that after preeming at the Woodstock Film Festival in October, it will be released theatrically on the 22nd of October. so far, the pic has been released in a handful of European countries.
