Sony picks up the rights to Celeste & Jesse Forever

[newleaf31.livejournal.com]

Great news! I looked at Elijah's most recent tweet (@annairblyn @nikkifinke excellent news!!) and followed the links. Celeste and Jesse Forever has been picked up by Sony Pictures Classics. Sounds like the odds are going up and up that the movie will get U.S. distribution, and perhaps beyond. Woohoo!

For some reason, LJ won't let me post the link to the article. (I'm wondering if this is a SOPA thing...?) Go to @nikkifinke's page. It's at deadline dot com(/)hollywood(/) Ugh, this is annoying.

But, what about Western Europe?

Indeed, great news. And very positive reviews so far. I loved the remark about E's performance I picked up from screencrave.com: "Elijah Wood’s performance as Jones’ gay assistant is especially well tempered and fun". YESS!

Now, we need to keep this in the public eye for the next ten months (yikes) so we can try for, at least, some Independent Spirit or GG recognition????
