Sundance Hits 'Infinitely Polar Bear,' 'Killers' And 'Ping Pong Summer' Get Distribution
Briefly: The 2014 Sundance Film Festival is over and done but the we're still seeing the effects of the fest on film distribution. Three of the festival's more popular films were just picked up for future release. The first is Infinitely Polar Bear, the Bad Robot-produced dramedy starring Mark Ruffalo and Zoe Saldana. Sony Pictures Classics acquired the rights. No release window has been planned yet but the movie is wonderful. Read our review here.
Also now headed to a theater near you is Ping Pong Summer, Michael Tully's ode to the Eighties, which has been picked up by Gravitas Ventures and Millennium Entertainment. They're planning a theatrical run early this Summer. Read our review here.
And finally, Timo Tjahjanto and Kimo Stamboel's Japanese action film Killers, produced by Gareth Evans, was picked up by Well Go USA Entertainment. It'll be out in the fourth quarter of this year. Thanks to The Wrap.
