Acquisition
Altitude has acquired Georgia Oakley’s feature “Blue Jean” for distribution in the U.K. and Ireland.
The film, from U.K./French outfit Film Constellation, is headed to Venice, Toronto and the BFI’s London Film Festival this fall. It will premiere in Venice on Sept. 3.
In “Blue Jean,” Rosy McEwen (“Vesper”) stars as lesbian P.E. teacher Jean, who lives against the backdrop of the 1980s U.K. where being gay is still stigmatised. When a new girl arrives at the school, Jean finds herself facing a crisis that will challenge her to her core.

Exclusive: Jason Howden (Guns Akimbo) will co-write and direct a film adaptation of his first comic series Monsters of Metal, which launches with its first issue via Opus Comics on October 19.
Penned by Howden and Llexi Leon (Iron Maiden’s “Speed of Light”), who founded Opus Comics and its parent company Incendium, the comic was conceived as an R-rated mockumentary — a cross between Spinal Tap and The Monster Squad, which sees a group of beloved horror icons team up to form a heavy metal band.
Frankenstein’s monster (named Frank) and his bandmates Medusa, Jack O’Lantern, Werewolf and the Bride have spent the last few centuries squatting in Dracula’s castle – unbeknown to their slumbering host. But after a band rehearsal gets out of hand and wakes the fearsome vamp, the group gets booted from the castle and are forced to hit the road. As Frank and the band take their act on tour,...
