With an all-star cast featuring Christina Ricci, Uma Thurman, Kristin Scott Thomas, and Colm Meaney, Bel Ami is a co-production of UK firms Redwave Films, XIX Entertainment, and Protagonist Pictures, along with Italy's giant Rai Films. It opens in some European territories, including the UK, on March 2 with a worldwide rollout in the weeks to follow.
Sony Pictures Worldwide Acquisitions sealed the deal for North American distribution rights at AFM in early November. The film is expected to be released in the US by Columbia Pictures in March but no release date has been set. Although a premiere has yet to be announced, rumor has it that Bel Ami will debut at the 62nd Berlin International Film Festival in February. The timing is certainly right.
This week the festival announced five films in the Competition lineup and five in the Berlinale Special section. The rest of the lineup will be revealed in about a month (the balance of Competition titles were announced on January 18th for the 2011 festival). We shall see.
Besides Sony/Columbia in the US, distributors include Studio Canal in the UK, Germany and France, RaiCinema in Italy, Hopscotch in Australia, Independent in Benelux, Impuls in Switzerland, Scanbox in Scandinavia, Golden Scene in Hong Kong/Macau, Unikorea Culture and Art in South Korea, SSG in Taiwan, Central Partnership in CIS, Ablo in Eastern Europe, Ozen Film in Turkey, Lusomundo in Portugal, Front Row in the Middle East, California Filmes in Latin America, PVR in India, PT Amero in Indonesia, Pioneer in the Philippines, Nu Metro in South Africa, Passion Encore in Singapore and Hollywood Entertainment in Greece and Cyprus.
