Matteo Lovadina’s Reel Suspects has picked up international rights on Venice Orizzonti special jury prize winner Ruin.
Amiel Courtin-Wilson and Michael Cody direct.
The Australian-made Ruin is set in modern-day Cambodia. It’s an impressionistic love story about young lovers on the run, trying to escape a life of crime and violence. The cast is led by Rous Mony and Sang Malen. It was made through Flood Projects Production and Hanuman Films.
Madman will release the film in Australia. North American rights are handled by La based Xyz Films and United Talent Agency (UTA). Germany and Italy are reportedly in negotiations for the title.
Reel Suspects has also confirmed two more deals on another of its titles, Brendan Muldowney’s Love Eternal. The film, produced by Fastnet Films, Red Lion, Rinkel Film and T.O. Entertainment, has now gone to Sweden (Njuta Films) and Benelux (Just Film Distribution).

Produced by: Tony Scott and Ridley Scott
Hosted by: David Bowie and Terrence Stamp
Cast: Daniel Craig, Karen Black, Lena Headey, Balthazar Getty, Giovanni Ribsi, Eric Roberts, and Kate Vernon.
If you find yourself questioning the familiarity of The Hunger: The Taste of Terror, look no further than the British, Canadian horror anthology series, The Hunger. Despite being produced by Tony Scott and being half hosted by David Bowie, the series has nothing to do with the film of the same name. Debuting in 1997 and appearing on Showtime, The Hunger fused supernatural and horror elements with eroticism and a lot boobs. However, due to the series' late night time slot and the limitations of half hour episodes, the series received negative reception. Once Masters of Horror took over in 2005, The Hunger seemed to be left behind in the wake of a show that featured more gore, and many more scares.

Chicago – There are few things more queasy than a feel good comedy that fails to make you feel good. Every film strives to master the art of manipulation, with wildly varying degrees of success. When a film makes consistent failed attempts to manipulate the emotions of its audience, it may result in viewers feeling increasingly nauseous until they’re about ready to hurl.
The 2007 British comedy “Sparkle” certainly seems to have a lot going for it, including a strong cast under the direction of acclaimed filmmaking team Tom Hunsinger and Neil Hunter, perhaps best known for their 2001 effort, “Lawless Heart.” But “Sparkle” is missing many key ingredients that would’ve provided its secret to success, the most glaring of which is a likable lead character.
DVD Rating: 2.0/5.0
Enter our protagonist, Sam Sparkes, whose name sounds like that of a failed magician. He’s played by Shaun Evans, a perfectly capable...

Despite an ill-conceived title that suggests a tween’s glitzy pastime, Tom Hunsinger and Neil Hunter’s Sparkle is a mature, well-acted affair about a tangled group of adults.
The decidedly British production emanates from Sam (Shaun Evans), an ambitious, twentysomething schemer with his sights set on London. An opportunity to make the leap arises when Vince (Bob Hoskins), an adorably shy bachelor, is instantly smitten with Sam’s mother, Jill (Lesley Manville), a starry-eyed lounge singer who insists on tagging along.
Sam’s lowly odd jobs around the capital city connects him with Sheila (Stockard Channing), a public relations magnate, and soon he is doubling as her personal assistant and privileged boy-toy. Complicating matters is Sam’s tantalizing attraction to a sexually forward political activist named Kate (Amanda Ryan).
Surrounding Sam’s meteoric success and romantic involvements is a shroud of secrets, each rounded character harboring one of their own.
