It’s been a while since we’ve heard anything regarding Boogie Woogie. Now we learn that the IFC films has acquired the rights. Hopefully we’ll be hearing about a release soon.
IFC Films has acquired North American rights from The Works International to Duncan Ward’s black comedy Boogie Woogie.
The film screens in the EFM and stars Danny Huston, Stellan Skarsgaard, Amanda Seyfried, Alan Cumming and Charlotte Rampling.
Danny Moynihan adapted the screenplay from his novel of the same name, a satire set against the backdrop of the contemporary art scene. Boogie Woogie premiered in Edinburgh last summer.
IFC has set an April 23 theatrical release date, two days after the VOD launch. Vice-president of acquisitions and co-productions Arianna Bocco brokered the deal with The Works International.
The film is an Autonomous/Colourframe Production with S Films, in association with Constance Media, Firefly Films, Muse Productions, P&C Arcade Films and Magna Films.
Cat Villiers, Chris Simon, Kami Naghdi and Moynihan produced.

Boogie Woogie will make it’s premiere at the 2009 Edinburgh Film Festival in Scotland this June.
Featuring a stunning international cast engaged in an alarming array of wicked behaviour, this ensemble drama pushes buttons and boundaries. Adapted by Danny Moynihan from his own novel, Duncan Ward’s daring and accomplished debut circles heartless agents, self-seeking artists, corrupt dealers and sexual predators of all persuasions, through escalating crises and towards a shattering conclusion.

Dear John now has an official release date set for February 5, 2010! Also there is the first still available which features Amanda as Savannah and Channing Tatum as John.
A soldier home on leave falls for a conservative college girl. Instead of returning home to her, he reenlists after the attacks on September 11th, 2001. Time and distance begin to take a toll on the young lovers.
Sucker Punch is still being strongly rumored for Amanda, but there is still no official casting announcement despite that Zac Snyder has said in many Watchmen press junkets that he’s eying Amanda.
According to Wikipedia (which is not the most reliable source so take it with a grain of salt) Boogie Woogie the upcoming comedy film set in London with Amanda is set to be released in May 2009. Keep in mind this is not a fact, but rumor, but there has been no status update for a while despite it’s completion.
Jennifer’s Body, which is the Diablo Cody and Megan Fox project is in post-production and still set for September 18, 2009. The first still of Megan recently released and can be viewed here.
Big Love currently has one final episode left in season three which airs this Sunday, March 23rd. And it was confirmed last month that season four is a go.
Finally Amanda was currently filming the dramatic thriller Chloe in Canada. As you have no doubt heard by now her lead co-star Liam Neeson’s wife, Natasha Richardson, has passed away after a skiing accident in Montreal. Neeson immediately left filming to be with her at the hospital. As you can no doubt imagine the terrible loss for Mr. Neeson and family the filming of this movie seems trivial at this time. We wish to extend our deepest condolences to the family, friends and fans of Natasha Richardson.
