: Vincent/Bryan,
: How much do you think you would want for the distribution rights for 'A Better Place" & "Vulgar" in Australia??
: Chris Kuiters
: Hoyts Cinemas
Well, Lion's Gate owns worldwide rights to VULGAR, so you'd have to negotiate that with them.
As for A BETTER PLACE, well, are you actually offering? Are you talking video or theatrical? Basically, it would depend on that- we'd need to get enough money to justify the expenses it would take to put together such a deal- i.e., if you wanted theatrical, we'd have to do a 35mm blow-up and make pre-print elements- would you be willing to pay for that? Video rights would intail us getting you a PAL digital video master which would obviously be a lot cheaper.
: P.S. Any idea when 'A Better Place' DVD will be finishing? And will you still be distributing it through the slowly dying DVDExpress?
Don May has said that if DVD Express can pay him the money they owe him PLUS pay up front for the thousand units of A BETTER PLACE, then they'll get it, but only under those circumstances. The DVD sould be out by late January, possibly the same week as the DOGMA S.E., making it a truly Askew-week for DVD fans.
