Just a few quick new links re: upcoming releases.
1. FilmStew.com reports that ThinkFilm will distribute The King — which stars Willam Hurt as a married pastor and Gael Garcia Bernal as his illegitimate son — in early 2006.
2. Reuters reports that the producers of The Aristocrats didn’t even bother to get the film rated by the MPAA, because they figured it would get an NC-17. Having seen the film, which has no nudity and no violence but a very, very high degree of verbal obscenity, I wouldn’t have been surprised if it had.
3. The Hollywood Reporter, the National Post, the Globe and Mail and the Canadian Press report that the World Film Festival in Montreal will host the world premiere of Karla, formerly known as Deadly, the controversial film about real-life criminals Paul Bernardo and Karla Homolka. The film’s release was originally scheduled for last June, shortly before Homolka’s release from prison, but was delayed after protests in Ontario.
