Image Entertainment, Inc. (NASDAQ: DISK), a leading independent
licensee and distributor of entertainment programming in North
America, announced today that it has acquired all North American
rights to “Don McKay” starring Thomas Haden Church (“Sideways,”
“Spider-Man 3,” “All About Steve”), Elisabeth Shue (“Deconstructing
Harry,” “Hide and Seek,” “Leaving Las Vegas”) and Melissa Leo
(“Frozen River,” “21 Grams,” “A Time of Destiny”). Image plans on
releasing the film in April 2010.
“Don McKay” marks the impressive first-film debut of
writer/director Jake Goldberger with Thomas Haden Church serving as
executive producer. The film was co-produced by David Denney
(“Rolling Kansas”) along with producer James M. Young (“Year of the
Bull,” “Homecoming”). “Don McKay” had its world premiere at the
2009 Tribeca Film Festival.
Don McKay, a high school janitor who leaves his hometown after a
tragedy, returns 25 years later to rekindle a romance with his old
flame who is dying of cancer, but this homecoming brings McKay more
than he bargained for.
Image acquired the rights to the film from Los Angeles-based
Animus Films and will oversee the distribution of the theatrical
release in North America. Image Entertainment will also release the
film for the home entertainment market including digital and
broadcast. The deal was negotiated by Image Entertainment’s J.
Beck, vice president acquisitions, feature films, with Kevin
Iwashina of IP Advisors on behalf of the filmmakers.
“Like his performance in ‘Sideways,’ Thomas Haden Church has
again created an intricately nuanced character that is truly
compelling to watch,” said Garrett M. Lee, Image’s senior vice
president, theatrical. “The story is breathtaking both in its
originality and strangeness. It fits wonderfully into our growing
portfolio of unique and entertaining films,” added Lee.
