There was a little tension in the air on Wednesday night at the “The Blair Witch Project” party where Artisan execs played it cool about acquisitions while receiving congratulations after the screening. At the same time there was talk over whether to pass on Jim Jarmusch’s “Ghost Dog” and whether to pick up Kevin Smith’s “Dogma” from Miramax before someone else does. They are, of course, not the only company vying for the new film from the director of “Clerks” and “Chasing Amy” which screens to the public in a late night 12:15 am screening slot tonight. While a top exec at one studio flew to New York for last week’s screening (see indieWIRE May 17), and other distribs, including another LA-based studio, have also shown interest in the Ben Affleck, Matt Damon-starrer, claimed one Cannes source. The press will get a chance to see if the “comic fantasia” lives up to all the hype in a special industry screening this morning (Friday) at 11 a.m.
