Spain’s Oscar Entry Finds an American Home
Vitagraph Films has acquired North American rights to Spain’s foreign-lingo Oscar entry “Even the Rain,” starring Gael Garcia Bernal. Distrib principals David Shultz and Margot Gerber plan a February release for the pic. It will go out in the top 15 markets. Directed by Iciar Bollain from a screenplay by Paul Laverty, “Rain” also features Luis Tosar and Carlos Aduviri. The film-within-a-film in “Even the Rain” chronicles some of Christopher Columbus’ exploits with the indigenous people he encountered in the Americas.
