Yesterday, Christine Jeff’s Sunshine Cleaning and Jonathan Levine’s The Wackness premiered at the Racquet Club to a packed crowd of distributor heads carrying their checkbooks, but so far the only movement has been for doc films – HBO (no longer partnered with Picturhouse) picked off Black List: Volume One and The Weinsteins picked up world right excluding North America for Marina Zenovich’s Roman Polanski: Wanted and
Desired. You can be sure that major deal announcements are nano-hours away from happening with the lawyers proof-reading the paper load. Today we have: the Morgan Spurlock marketing machine via slashfilm.com (see below) and a couple of Variety reviews: The Wackness (positive), In Bruges (average) and Good Dick (negative).
