Magnolia Closing In On LFF Opener 360

EXCLUSIVE: Im hearing that Magnolia is positioned to seal a U.S. deal for Fernando Meirelles sexual drama 360, which opened up in the 55th BFI London Film Festival last evening. Artificial Eye may also be in predicts release 360 inside the Uk on March 3 2012, I recognize. Co-produced by Revolution Films, the Uk production company behind IFCs The Trip, the Peter Morgan-scripted feature follows a sexual circle of prostitution, infidelity and soul mates. Anthony Hopkins, Rachel Weisz and Jude Law star. Paris-based telemarketer Wild Bunch is selling the BBC Films-backed project worldwide. Reviews here today are actually pretty moderate: The Daily Telegraph made clear the film just like a glossily unengaging trudge through other artists love lives explaining one moment where a character imagines an plane moving away his lover as spectacularly stupid. The Occasions located in london offers the film a significant dismissive 3-star review, calling the plot improbable, and mentioned the merry-go-round structure crushes performances into twenty-minute slots that frequently don't elicit our sympathy. The Evening Standard though was much more positive, calling 360 a correctly-crafted package together with a movie of lovely moments, elegant structure and vivid locations. Planners in the LFF drummed up some star energy with Jude Law speaking round the red-colored-colored carpet Anthony Hopkins and Rachel Weisz though werent available. Weisz, who stars in LFF closing film The Dark Blue Sea on October 27, was busy in NY filming while Hopkins, Im told, does not enjoy travelling. Personally, I believed that Hopkins gave an amazing performance just like a sober alcoholic although given his extended link with Aa, you must do question simply how much of just one scene where he shares within an AA meeting was ad-libbed while Ben Promote was scarily unpredictable just like a billed child rapist.
