GKIDS ACQUIRES NORTH AMERICAN RIGHTS FOR PHANTOM BOY AT ANNECY INTERNATIONAL ANIMATED FILM FESTIVAL


HIGHLY ANTICIPATED NEW FILM FROM THE OSCAR®-NOMINATED WRITERS AND DIRECTORS OF A CAT IN PARIS

GKIDS, a distributor of award-winning animation for both adult and family audiences, announced its acquisition of North American rights to PHANTOM BOY, the highly anticipated new animated feature from Jean-Loup Felicioli and Alain Gagnol, the Oscar®-nominated writers and directors of A Cat in Paris. The film premieres on June 19 at the Annecy International Animated Film Festival and GKIDS plans a theatrical release in spring 2016. The deal was negotiated between Daniela Elstner for Doc & Film International, Annemie Degryse for Lumière Publishing, and Eric Beckman for GKIDS.

PHANTOM BOY marks a return to the stylish animated noir of Felicioli and Gagnol’s A Cat in Paris, which was also distributed by GKIDS and earned the writing/directing duo their first Academy Award nomination. In the new film, the setting has shifted from Paris to New York in this family- and adult-friendly crime animated thriller. The film was produced by Jacques-Remy Girerd and Annemie Degryse, and is a co-production between Folimage, Lunanime, France 3 Cinéma and Rhône-Alpes Cinéma.

SYNOPSIS
Leo has a secret. A mysterious illness has transformed him into a phantom boy, able to leave the confines of his body and explore the city as a ghostly apparition. While in the hospital, he befriends Alex, a police officer injured while attempting to capture a nefarious gangster, who has taken control of the city’s power supply, throwing the metropolis into chaos. Now they must form an extraordinary duo, using Leo’s phantom powers and Alex’s detective work to stop the plot and save New York from destruction. Phantom Boy continues Gagnol and Felicioli’s fascination with animated film noir, in a heart-thumping adventure that pushes their trademark visual style to literal new heights, as Leo soars above the greatest skyline in the world.

Sex Tape Review: Overly Sexual, Rude, Vulgar, and Absolutely Hilarious

By Matt Cummings
The raunchy Sex Tape will divide audiences and critics, but who cares? Sex Tape suggests a growing practice among loving partners: that of making a raunchy testament of their escapades for posterity. But what happens when that evidence gets seen by friends, neighbors, and even the mailman? This is the plot that pits Jay (Jason Segel) and Annie (Cameron Diaz) in an effort to secure every iPad gift Jay has given, his record company playlists being the envy of the recipients, but which has also inadvertently spread the video to every device.

The couple has a lot to lose: a burgeoning business relationship between Annie and Hank (Rob Lowe) could end if the iPad she's given to Hank exposes the video, and so the couple sets out to reclaim and wipe the incrim...

Winona Ryder- An "Alienation" Expert? We're halfway checked out for the holiday weekend, so let's end with bit of comedy. A litigious videogame player is calling Winona Ryder to testify as an expert in "alienation." Erik Estavillo has filed a $1 million lawsuit in California Superior Court against Activision Blizzard, publisher of "World of Warcraft," saying it "maintain(s) a harmful virtual environment to many of its customers by forcing them to follow the game's sneaky and deceitful practices." The plaintiff says he suffers from several mental health problems brought on by WoW's "alienating" features, such as forcing beginners to walk or run to get from one point to another instead of speedier options available to those who master the game or buy an expansion pack. Estavillo says that the slow pace is "deceitful" because more time = more subscription revenue for Activision. Here's where Winona Ryder comes...
