Wolfe Releasing has acquired all U.S. rights to Thom Fitzgerald's 3 Needles, a look at the worldwide AIDS crisis, starring Lucy Liu, Chloe Sevigny, Stockard Channing, Olympia Dukakis, Sandra Oh and Shawn Ashmore. The film covers aspects of the crisis in rural China, a South African plantation and Montreal's porn world. Wolfe is distributing the director's cut, which restores 20 minutes of footage from the Montreal section and reconfigures the three-part structure changed at the Canadian distributor's request before the film was shown at last year's Toronto International Film Festival. The film will reach theaters in the fall and video stores by summer 2007.
TORONTO -- Rolling out the lineup of Canadian films for the 30th edition of the Toronto International Film Festival, organizers Tuesday announced world premieres for Thom Fitzgerald's 3 Needles and Beowulf & Grendel, the latest work from Sturla Gunnarsson. Also, short-filmmaker Louise Archambault's feature film debut, Familia, will open the second edition of Canada First, a showcase for emerging Canadian directors. 3 Needles stars Chloe Sevigny, Sandra Oh, Olympia Dukakis, Stockard Channing and Lucy Liu in a drama about AIDS that spans three continents. Beowulf & Grendel, a drama about a Norse hero's battle with a murderous monster loosely based on the ninth century Anglo-Saxon epic poem, is set for the festival's Special Presentations sidebar.
