Me + Richard Armitage 
That’s good news. (I am wondering whether Ireland is subsumed under UK in the distribution rights… If I were on Twitter, I’d tweet at Jamie Hannigan…)

I breathed a sigh of relief when I saw Australia. I know it’s a big country but hopefully some of our fellow Aussies can see it. They are always last on the list.
LikeLike
Good point. I am happy for our Aussie sisters-in-RA to finally have a new project available!

but unfortunatly no info for Germany, again…., really wonder what kind of problem there is ? Does anbody know anything about it ? Thanks for helping me underdtand.
LikeLike
I have NO idea (no France either). I wonder if maybe Arte is still negotiating? It would just be a guess, though.
LikeLike
maybe it just always takes a tad longer due to having to provide dubbed versions too
LikeLike
that’s a good point — although would they wait to announce the sale until it was dubbed?
LikeLike
Not sure, maybe the buyers would want to see bits of the dubbed version too. I’d have thought Germany for example to be a really good market for this. Fingers crossed it is just a time delay.

No Scandinavia — and they subtitle … Hmmm.

No, what’s that about? – I’m truly disappointed. This was the one I was looking forward to more so than some of the others (BoF) 😦

It may still be coming … but it is strange.

No Canada either but I remain hopeful.

We almost gotta think that if they sold it this easily — before any large audience has seen it — for the US, England, NZ and Australia the rest of the English working can’t be far away. I hope.

Good thinking! I’ll try to be optimistic! Fingers crossed 😉

I breathed a sigh of relief as well, when ai saw Australia!! Still waiting for news about other projects, too. Would love to see Brain on Fire distributed here!!
LikeLike
It’s a good sign that this is getting such wide distribution. It surprises me a little that of the films Armitage made in 2014-15, this might turn out to be the easiest to see. Before having seen any of them, I’d have picked Brain on Fire for that.
LikeLike
maybe it’s the historical/mythological elements which is more appealing? Seems to be popular these days in all sorts of forms, new Kind Arthur stuff coming through, etc. Just speculating… maybe it’s got a more obvious or easy to define target audience than something like Brain on Fire.
LikeLike
I think the producers thought Chloe Grace Moretz would sell that film and when you’ve seen it once you realize that won’t happen. It doesn’t really have other elements of filmic interest (the director more or less said: I wasn’t going to get into point of view or perspective or anything else) beyond telling the story. Whereas this film is now going to be of interest in three fandoms at least (Spiderman, Outlander in addition to US) beyond the mythic elements that will interest people who don’t know who the actors are. I think the BOF makers took a smaller gamble but it didn’t pay off, whereas the Pilgrimage makers took a bigger gamble and it really paid off. (This said not having seen Pilgrimage, of course).

true, the way it picked up fandoms on the go was very useful 🙂 I wonder how big/small ‘his’ role will be.. we know already he doesn’t make it to the end…
LikeLike
the film itself is only 96 min, and it seems like he’s an important villain — but it has also seemed like the “struggle” of the monks is just as much about the environment and the difficulties of their journeys, so who knows …
LikeLike
What?! How do we know he doesn’t make it to the end? Is he killed off in this too?!
LikeLike
er, sorry for the spoilers! we don’t actually know what happens to him, we just know from the shooting schedule that he only did the Ireland bit but wasn’t shooting in Belgium where the crew went next. So we assumed something must happen to his character 🙂
LikeLike
I don’t think we know that, actually. We don’t know that he was there but he we don’t know that he wasn’t, if I remember correctly.

that’s accurate, but i think he was off doing interviews or something else but not entirely sure tbh; i’m probably suffering from enthusiasm for speculation on things i’d love to see 🙂

and in June 2016 he mentions “working in Belgium.” Maybe he meant ADR, of course.
LikeLike
ah, missed that! my bad, spark apologies, looks like i misunderstood
LikeLike
No problem, I was just kidding. I’m thinking he starts off a bad guy but then comes to admire the tenacious Spider monk (Tom Holland??) and sacrifices himself for their cause (a character right up RA’s alley?).
