Big Screen Entertainment Group sinks teeth into new vampire film
Thursday, 28 August 2008 06:19
BSEG has acquired world rights to the new French language vampire film, SODIUM BABIES co-directed by brothers Benoît and Julien Decaillon.
“We screened SODIUM BABIES at this year’s Cannes Film Market,” said Big Screen CEO Kimberley Kates. “It stood out among the numerous titles we previewed. The picture has a graphic novel visual element similar to the movies Sin City and 300. The story certainly has a crossover international appeal and we believe it will perform very well internationally.”
Senior VP Michael Manasseri added, “One of the great things about attending the world film markets is having the opportunity to discover terrific new talent. The Decaillon Brothers are up and coming filmmaking stars. We were blown away by their cinematic visual style and are thrilled to be representing this title.”
Vampire films are once again a popular genre with the highly anticipated TWILIGHT due out this year and the HBO series TRUE BLOOD premiering in September. Big Screen will begin marketing and selling SODIUM BABIES at the upcoming American Film Market in Santa Monica, California this November. Big Screen’s film titles can be viewed at the company’s web site, www.bigscreenent.com.
