France’s Gaumont Picks Up ‘Grace of Monaco’
17 May 2013 8:03 AM, PDT | Variety - Film News | See recent Variety - Film News news »
Cannes — Gaumont has nabbed French rights to Nicole Kidman-starrer “Grace of Monaco,” which is to be released Stateside by The Weinstein Company.
Helmed by Olivier Dahan (“La Vie en Rose”) and penned by Arash Amel, the 1962-set pic portrays the part Grace Kelly played in the political conflict between French prexy Charles de Gaulle and Monaco. The same year, Alfred Hitchcock attempted to tempt Kelly back to Hollywood.
Pic is produced by Pierre-Ange Le Pogam’ Stone Angels, Uday Chopra at Yrf and Amel at Square Kid.
Pic also stars Tim Roth and Frank Langella.
Repped in international markets by Inferno, the film is already sold worldwide, notably the U.K. (Warner Bros), Germany (Square One) and China (Seven Stars Entertainment).
Gaumont will release the pic, which is in post, on Jan. 29.
The Weinstein Company, which is positioning the film as an Oscar contender, is unveiling the first footage at Cannes. »

'Erased' review: Aaron Eckhart in fine form in 'Bourne Identity' imitation
16 May 2013 6:05 AM, PDT | Pop2it | See recent Pop2it news »
Just once, it'd be nice if the couple fleeing from a trigger-happy hit man through, say, a crowded hospital, would yell out -- "Run for your lives!" And if the hospital's in Belgium, say, it'd be nice for them to yell it in French.
"Erased" has such a scene, where Aaron Eckhart, as a security contractor whose company, bank records and recent history have been "erased," is fleeing with his daughter (Liana Liberato). And you can't help but feel for the innocent doctors, nurses and patients on gurneys who catch a bullet during the mayhem. Don't they deserve a warning?
"Erased" is a run-of-the-mill "Bourne" imitation in which covert operatives are desperate to tidy up a scheme in which American expat Ben Logan may be the only witness. It's an exposition-heavy thriller with that generic Euro-thriller blue-grey color palette and duller-than-grey villains, all chasing the good guy and his daughter through scenic Brussels and Antwerp, »

Film Review: ‘Erased’
15 May 2013 8:53 PM, PDT | Variety - Film News | See recent Variety - Film News news »
“Taken” meets “The Bourne Identity” in “Erased,” a familiar but energetic and entertaining actioner that has rolled into numerous territories since last August under the title “The Expatriate.” Aaron Eckhart toplines as an ex-cia operative on the lam with his teenage daughter from other, villanous espionage elements. Now making a belated, modest U.S. release — starting this Friday on a single Manhattan screen — this slick English-language debut from helmer Philipp Stoelzl (“North Face,” “Young Goethe in Love”) might have gone wider, despite its lack of B.O. names. Still, even minimal theatrical exposure should at least raise its profile for solid exposure in home formats.
Ben Logan (Eckhart) left the CIA — for reasons not explained until well into the proceedings — to work for the Antwerp office of a European company which makes devices that can penetrate the highest-security systems, presumably benefiting good-guy governments. It’s a job he’s held for just a few weeks. »

Untaken Legacy: Stolzl’s English Debut a Clunky, Derivate Actioneer
Originally titled The Expatriate, German director Philip Stolzl’s English language debut gets the dumbed down title of Erased, which unfortunately only makes it an easy target for jokes concerning what the film does with your time. While the film manages to avoid being completely asinine, nicely packaged and more smartly written than your general fare in the Taken vein, Stolzl’s film can never quite manage to feel like an original concept, instead feeling like a European tinged, anemic subset of the Jason Bourne franchise.
Ben Logan (Aaron Eckhart) is an expatriate American living in Belgium, trying to start his life over working for a multinational corporation specializing in high-tech security. Only recently, his 15 year old daughter Amy (Liana Liberato) has left the Us to come live with him, and the two don’t seem to know each other very well, »

Thunder Road Finds Funds In China And Middle East; Sets Up ‘Gang Story’ Remake For Liam Neeson, Daniel Espinosa
21 April 2013 8:00 PM, PDT | Deadline New York | See recent Deadline New York news »
Exclusive: After seeing his long affiliation with Warner Bros end late last year, producer Basil Iwanyk has taken his Thunder Road in an intriguing and entrepreneurial direction that might become the way producers embrace the end of studio overhead deals. Iwanyk has redrawn Thunder Road and made deals with Italia Films and China-based Fundamental Films. Italia gets distribution rights in Greece, Turkey and the Middle East, and Fundamental gets releasing rights in China. Besides getting an inside track on having Thunder Road films play in China, Iwanyk gets high seven-figures to fund Thunder Road’s development. In the configuration set up by CAA and Gotham-based investment bank Cea, Thunder Road will own the rest of the world on all of the projects, and has the ability to make domestic distribution deals with any studio in town. Under his new partnership, Iwanyk’s Thunder Road has already put together at least two star-driven projects. »

Movie Review - The Expatriate (2012)
4 April 2013 4:51 AM, PDT | Flickeringmyth | See recent Flickeringmyth news »
The Expatriate (a.k.a. Erased), 2012.
Directed by Philipp Stolzl.
Starring Aaron Eckhart, Olga Kurylenko, Liana Liberato, Neil Napier, Garrick Hagon and Alexander Fehling.
Synopsis:
Ben Logan (Eckhart) and his daughter, Amy (Liberato) started a new life in Belgium after Ben’s job sent him overseas. He’s moved past the struggle of moving abroad and is at the top of his game with work. However, one stolen document leads the company into disrepair and Ben’s life is shattered; he and his daughter have to fight to stay alive once the conspiracy threatens everything.
Never underestimate the influence of a franchise; they may spawn a dozens to hundreds of similar films, setting the bar high, with not everyone able to improve on it. With The Expatriate it’s the opening with a John Powell-esque score and location subtitling that immediately harks back to Bourne. Replicating such a respected »
