Three years after Halle Berry was named to topline LionsGate’s upcoming release Tulia, a co-star has finally signed on. Billy Bob Thorton was captivated enough by the screenplay to agree to what will amount to a Monster’s Ball reunion. The script was penned by Karen Croner and given a rewrite by Franklin. Filming is set to begin April 30 in and around New Orleans.
After two years of tracking, Picturehouse Distribution has acquired the US distribution rights to Luc Jacquet's The Fox and the Child, a children’s tale hoping to match the mega-success of Jacquet’s March of the Penguins. The feature will be based on Jacquet’s childhood adventures and will use a combination of nature shots and trained fox footage.
