Toronto: Magnolia Lands Bobcat Goldthwait Comedy God Bless America

EXCLUSIVE: Magnolia Pictures is closing a worldwide rights deal for God Bless America, the Bobcat Goldthwait-directed killing spree comedy. The film opened up in the last weekend inside the Evening time Madness program. I’ve heard it’s a greater substantial deal which Magnolia will release through Magnet, as well as the film will probably be an Ultra VOD title in 2012. Meaning it'll start just like a premium VOD title, then play theatrically in no less than 25 urban centers. Satire is about a guy which has nothing going right and might be crictally ill. He takes a gun and decides to eliminate the stupidest, cruelest and several repugnant people of society, assisted having a 16-year-old accomplice. Joel Murray plays the shooter, and Tara Lynn Barr plays the partner. Sean McKittrick and Rob Culotta will be the producers. Cassian Elwes and Preferred Content’s Kevin Iwashina and Christine D’Souza brokered the sale. It is the second deal in the last 24 several hours for your Mark Cuban- and Todd Wagner-possessed company, which acquired the hockey comedy Goon last evening.
