One of the more interesting elements to emerge from Vulture’s oral history of the Disney animated comedy “The Emperor’s New Groove” is the reminder of a nearly 20-year-old Disney documentary that’s never been released and will most likely never break out of the Disney vault. “The Sweatbox” was directed by John-Paul Davidson and Trudie Styler, wife of musician Sting.
As documented in the oral history, “The Emperor’s New Groove” got its start at Walt Disney as a much different film titled “The Kingdom of the Sun,” which was to feature original songs by Sting. Davidson and Styler documented the making of that movie, but Disney ultimately shelved the project after “doubt-filled meetings and catastrophic screenings and arguments.” Pieces of “The Kingdom of the Sun” found their way into 2000’s beloved “The Emperor’s New Groove,” including two Sting songs and the voice of Eartha Kitt, but the documentary capturing...

Set in the picturesque landscapes of rural France, The Man in the Hat (played by Game of Thrones star Ciarán Hinds) journeys across the country in his Fiat 500 with nothing but a framed photo of an unknown woman on the passenger’s seat. After witnessing what seems to be something of a criminal nature, he takes off and starts the adventure of a lifetime, however, he is somewhat ‘followed’ by the Five Angry Men in a Citroën Dyane. The cars, along with the jaunty french music, gives quite a nostalgic feel, and brings back memories of when good old Mr Bean was back on our screens in 2007 with Mr Bean’s Holiday. Albeit he had a yellow Mini, and not a blue Fiat 500, but it was nostalgic and similar nonetheless.
Written and directed by John-Paul Davidson and Stephen Warbeck, The Man in the Hat is a weird and wonderful yet wacky piece of comical entertainment.

France looks beautiful from a Fiat 500 in this picturesque fantasy about a man on the (very slow) run
The English composer Stephen Warbeck won an Oscar for his work on Shakespeare in Love, but has never directed a film before. He makes his writer-director debut, in collaboration with John-Paul Davidson (director of various Michael Palin and Stephen Fry-fronted travelogues) on this whimsical road movie that has little dialogue but plenty of music. Ciarán Hinds stars as the titular hat-wearer, who we meet dining on razor clams and rosé at an empty harbourside restaurant, with only a framed photograph of an unnamed woman for company. He inadvertently witnesses some apparent criminal activity and makes a quick escape in a Fiat 500 (the photo carefully placed on the passenger seat), followed by five angry men in their Citroën Dyane.
So begins a picturesque odyssey across the French countryside, the best Provençal driving holiday you’ve never had.

Exclusive: UK sales outfit acquires international rights to doc about late golf legend.
Salt has picked up worldwide sales rights, excluding Spain, to Seve Ballesteros documentary Seve.
Produced by Stephen Evans, Jonathan Evans and Romilly Evans of Renaissance Films, John-Paul Davidson directs the story of the Spanish golf legend.
The documentary charts Ballesteros’ early life learning to play golf with a broken club on the beach of his small home town to becoming the youngest ever Open champion of the modern era. The charismatic Spaniard went on to win the Masters, five majors and become world number one.
In 2011, Ballesteros died aged 54 following a battle with brain cancer.
Filming has recently completed in Spain on the film, which is a combination of archive footage and dramatic reconstruction, and was with the support of the Seve Ballesteros Foundation.
Executive producers are Roger Corbi and Yan Fisher of Fish/Corb Films.

You may have seen Disney's Emperor's New Groove — the 2000 movie based on the Hans Christian Andersen fairy tale, centering on a bratty teenage monarch — but you probably missed the movie's interesting backstory. In 1997, Tantric gigolo and musician Sting was asked to compose the soundtrack for New Groove (the movie formerly known as Kingdom of the Sun). As part of his contract, Trudie Styler — Sting's wife — came on board as a documentarian, along with filmmaker John-Paul Davidson. The production process doesn't sound like it was a joyride by any stretch of the imagination. The documentary — The Sweatbox — got its name, because there was no air conditioning at Disney's screening room in Burbank, California. Animators would...
