- Here’s an interesting piece…While all the rumblings about Dogma release trouble are happening Stateside, The Hollywood Reporter has announced that FilmFour has already nabbed up Dogma’s U.K. distribution rights! Read on:
LONDON — Bolstering its film slate with key U.S. indie titles, FilmFour has acquired U.K. distribution rights to five high-profile films from Miramax.
The deal marks the first time Miramax has sold a substantial number of key titles to a U.K. distributor outside its ongoing relationship with Buena Vista International, which in the past has handled U.K. distribution on the majority of Miramax films.
FilmFour will handle the U.K. release of Kevin Smith’s “Dogma” starring Ben Affleck, Matt Damon and Linda Fiorentino; Robert Iscove’s teenage hit “She’s All That”; Jane Campion’s “Holy Smoke” starring Kate Winslet, Harvey Keitel and Pam Grier; Chris Eyre’s “Smoke Signals”; and Brad Anderson’s “Next Stop Wonderland.”
What this press release DOES show us is that Dogma is indeed being released carrying the Miramax banner, which solidifies our argument that the studio does indeed tend to support the film here in the U.S. Looking good…
