Great news for people in the US today. Magnolia Pictures along will Great Point Media will partner to release Damsel and they're eyeing up a date in the summer, so not too far away.
Let's hope distributors in other countries will follow suit!
From Variety:
Magnolia Pictures and Great Point Media will partner on the U.S. release of David and Nathan Zellner’s “Damsel,” starring Robert Pattinson and Mia Wasikowska.
The Western comedy world-premiered in January at the Sundance Film Festival, and played at the Berlin International Film Festival in February. The movie is also screening Monday at the SXSW Film Festival in Austin, the home town of the Zellner brothers.
Patinson plays an affluent pioneer who ventures across the American frontier to find and marry the love of his life, played by Wasikowska. David Zellner portrays a drunkard named Parson Henry who travels with Pattinson and a miniature horse, as their once-simple journey grows treacherous, increasingly blurring the lines between hero, villain, and damsel.
“We’ve been incredibly fortunate working with Great Point Media in making ‘Damsel’ and are thrilled to be partnering with Magnolia for the release; their enthusiasm means so much to us,” the Zellners said. “Robert and Mia are amazing in the film and doing things we’ve not seen them do before. It’s meant to be seen big and loud, and we’re excited that it will have a proper life on the silver screen before being (lovingly) watched on iPhones while multitasking.”
From Deadline:
Magnolia Pictures and Great Point media have teamed in a U.S. co-distribution deal for Damsel, the Sundance Film Festival pic starring Robert Pattinson and Mia Wasikowska. The deal for the comedic Western written and directed by David and Nathan Zellner comes as the pic screens today at SXSW. A summer theatrical release is being eyed.
