Following its world premiere at Toronto, HBO Films has taken exclusive North American rights to Barry Levinson’s The Survivor about Holocaust survivor and U.S. boxer Harry Haft. Ben Foster plays Haft in the movie, which marks a reteam with his Liberty Heights writer-director Levinson. Deal was 8-figures, making it the biggest one in a subdued Toronto marketplace.
After being sent to Auschwitz, Haft survived not only the unspeakable horrors of the camp but the gladiatorial boxing spectacle he was forced to perform with his fellow prisoners for the amusement of his captors. Unbeknownst to those who try to destroy him, Haft is driven by the most important reason any man has to survive: a quest to reunite with the woman he loves. After a daring escape, he makes his way to New York, where he succeeds in using his boxing skills to establish a name for himself in...

Ryan Bonder’s crime thriller stars Anthony Head and Belinda Stewart-Wilson.
Kemistry Films, in association with Amerique Film, have completed production on The Brother.
Ryan Bonder’s crime thriller centres on a young man’s attempt to make a clean break from his arms-dealing family ties.
The film stars Anthony Head, Belinda Stewart-Wilson, Noemi Merlant, Tygh Runyan and Jed Rees. Bonder and Ron McLeod co-produce, with Martin Paul-Hus executive producing.
To tie in with its release (set for spring 2014), Bonder, DoP Brian Johnson and composer Marc Bjorknas will create an art installation that will travel with the film, working within themes contained in the story.
Commenting on the installation, Bonder said that “the idea is to create a secondary viewing experience that echoes themes in the film but work on a much less narrative level.”
The Brother, a Canadian production funded by Telefilm Canada, was shot entirely in London. Finance also came from Super Channel who hold...
