“Unprecedented,” the documentary from Alex Holder featuring previously unreleased footage of Donald Trump and his family during the final six weeks of the 2020 presidential campaign – and their reactions to the outcome of the election and the Jan. 6 insurrection – will be released on Sunday, July 10, exclusively on Discovery+.
According to Discovery, the three-part docuseries reveals “unfiltered” sit-down interviews with President Trump, as well as his daughter Ivanka Trump and son-in-law Jared Kushner, sons Donald Trump Jr. and Eric Trump, plus insights from the journalists who covered the events as they unfolded.

Magnet is proving to be a savior of small genre releases. Without them, we might not have been able to see "Hobo With A Shotgun," "13 Assassins," "I Saw the Devil," "Black Death," "Centurion" and "Bronson." So many delights! Dig through the Magnet and Magnolia catalog and you'll find a million things you should have watched already.So, the announcement they've aquired "Playback" for distribution is good news all around. I haven't seen the film, but I'd like to, and that's the whole point. The best part is that it will get a VOD release before it hits theaters in March, which means it will be waiting for you on some cold Saturday night when you need a horror flick to drink with.Because it would be silly for me to retype the synopsis, here's the official press release from Magnet, with all the dates and details you'll need to know:...

Toronto, Ontario (September 13, 2011) – The Cuban/Wagner Company’s Magnet Releasing, genre arm to Magnolia Pictures, announced today that they have taken Us rights to Michael Dowse’s raucous hockey comedy Goon. Starring Seann William Scott, Jay Baruchel, Liev Schreiber and Alison Pill, Goon was written by Baruchel with Superbad and Pineapple Express scribe Evan Goldberg. Goon is the story of Doug Glatt (Scott), a dumb but loveable bar bouncer plucked from obscurity to be the enforcer for a minor league hockey team. In the tradition of great sports comedies like Slapshot, Goon delivers bone crunching action and laughs in equal measure. Said Magnolia/Magnet President Eamonn Bowles: “Goon is a pucking blast. It’s a complete crowd pleaser that has all the elements of a future comedy classic.” Magnet plans an early 2012 theatrical release as part of Magnolia’s Ultra VOD program. The seven figure deal was negotiated by...

The Toronto and Other Fall Festivals Rights RoundUp list looks quite sizeable for what is claimed to have been a quiet festival season. Though it's true business down, the large number of acquisitions has not been viewed as such and yet is the result of a new trend which has been sneaking up over the past few years and has now taken hold. Distributors and sales agents now acquire Before the festivals rather than during. It developed out of Cannes' prescreenings which have mostly been discontinued, and it could go so far as to change the pre-Sundance adage Not to show the film to anyone before Sundance.
This Rights RoundUp for acquisitions executives, distributors, international sales agents, investors and producers is different from my previous Rr Reports. It is no longer a report based on data and FilmFinders is out of the equation. This listing of rights acquired Before the actual festival,...

The Toronto and Other Fall Festivals Rights Round Up for acquisitions executives, distributors, international sales agents, investors and producers is different from my previous Rr Reports. It is no longer a report based on data and FilmFinders is out of the equation. This listing of rights acquired preliminary to the actual festival, during the festival and for a couple of months afterward can also be found on MDbPro who acquired FilmFinders in 2008 and where SydneysBuzz resides on the landing page and on IMDbPro's News Desk. Whenever possible, the list is alphabetical by international sales agent (linked to IMDbPro), and the Isa's titles are also linked to IMDbPro.
