And, It’s Offical: Blockbuster Declares Bankruptcy
Blockbuster, once the dominant movie rental company in the U.S., filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection on Thursday, after reeling from mounting losses, rising debt and competitors that have better catered to Americans’ changed media habits. Blockbuster will continue to operate its 3,000 U.S. stores. But the move, long expected, marks the end of an era that Blockbuster and its gold-and-blue torn ticket logo helped establish — of Americans visiting video-store chains for the latest movie-rental releases. Increasingly, Americans are forgoing Blockbuster and watching movies via video subscription services like Netflix Inc., video on demand and vending machine services such as Coinstar Inc.’s Redbox.

Polanski Brings In Amazing Cast for New Flick
After the solid product that was “The Ghost Writer,†Roman Polanski had a comeback of sorts, and his next film, is coming together: An adaptation of Yazmina Reza’s acclaimed play “God of Carnage,†about two sets of parents who meet for a civilized confrontation after their kids get into a fight on the playground. As the evening proceeds, though, the conversation devolves into rage, prejudice, and homophobia. Polanski has landed a heck of a cast. Jodie Foster and Kate Winslet will play the wives, joining red-hot Oscar winner Christoph Waltz (of “Inglorious Basterds†fame) and Matt Dillon as the husbands.

New Deal Means Big Step Forward in Digital Distribution
For long, Hollywood has touted the promise of digital delivery of movies to theaters as a way to dramatically cut costs — a promise that has largely gone unfulfilled. But an agreement between two major players is likely to give digital delivery the major boost many have waited for. Lab giant Deluxe and satellite company EchoStar have formed a joint venture to deliver digital content to theaters in the U.S. and Canada. One of the lures of digital projection has been digital delivery — the ability to send movies to theaters as data, rather than as physical objects that must be sent as freight. Most theaters still receive movies on hard disks. The combination of EchoStar’s robust satellite network and Deluxe’s deep ties to studios is likely to be a major step forward in digitizing the exhibition business.

Producers David Friendly, Mark Clayman and Michael Menchel are looking to launch production early next year. Todd Komarnicki (â€Elfâ€) has penned the adaptation. The memoir, “Picking Cotton,†is based on Thompson-Cannino’s rape in 1984, in which she later identified the 22-year-old Cotton as her attacker, leading to his conviction and life sentence. Cotton maintained his innocence and was freed after 11 years, thanks to DNA testing; Thompson-Cannino and Cotton then met, became friends and traveled together through to promote understanding of flaws in the criminal justice system.

This YouTube system was devised to ferret out copyright-protected content that has been uploaded illegally to the site, analyzing images and audio tracks and automatically comparing them to protected content. Now it's being used to help monetize that content, with Google utilizing the software to identify unauthorized clips of shows like "Mad Men" then attaching ads to them, according to a report in the NYTimes. Ad revenue derived from such fan posts is then split with the content owner as part of the YouTube Partner Program. It's hard to imagine the folks at Viacom, who just lost a very expensive lawsuit leveled at YouTube over the issue of benefitting from its illegally shared content, willingly participating in such a program. Then again, what's the harm - if properly managed? The value of YouTube is that it provides a platform through which the world can admire, comment on and share bits of video. Clips of professionally produced shows have benefitted when their shows are clipped and shared by achieving a watercooler effect; now they can gain real scratch from the transaction.

DGA Lines Up Its Priorities for Upcoming Negotiations
The Directors Guild of America has identified shoring up the DGA-industry health plan as a key issue at upcoming negotiations with the congloms. DGA negotiating committee chief Gil Cates made the disclosure in the DGA’s monthly magazine for October as part of a Q and A about bargaining over a successor contract. He said that employers haven’t increased their contribution to the plan since 2005 while benefits have been tightened. The guidance echoed what Cates had told members a month ago — that the DGA pension and health plans would be a top priority at upcoming contract negotiations with the Alliance of Motion Picture & Televison Producers.

The Film Boutique is the beginning of what we intend to become a film market. While traditional film markets may offer festival attendees hundreds of options in dealmaking with industry pros, we have to start somewhere, so we can't promise a thing other than space for you to park yourself and promote your films.
The Southeast U.S. does not currently have such an outlet for filmmakers and distributors. If you can't make it to Colorado, California, Canada or Cannes the TCFF Film Boutique may be the right place for you to market your current title or slate of films to the general public. In the future, our goal is to develop this into a full fledged film market and trade show.

SAG Makes a Deal With Its Business Reps
The Screen Actors Guild has reached a tentative three-year deal with negotiators repping about 40 of its own business representatives at its Hollywood headquarters. SAG had no comment about the pact, under which the unionized employees agreed to a contract offer with 2% annual wage increases. The employees, represented by Local 986 of the Intl. Brotherhood of Teamsters, had sought gains of 5% in the first year and 4% in the second and third years. SAG is set to begin joint negotiations with the American Federation of Television & Radio Artists on Sept. 27 for a new master feature-primetime contract with the Alliance of Motion Picture & Television Producers. Had the business agents not reached a deal, it would have raised the possibility of SAG being picketed by its own employees during the AMPTP talks.

Continuing to spurn Carl Icahn, Lionsgate has officially rejected the billionaire’s sweetened bid for the company, asserting that his hostile offer doesn’t fairly value the minimajor and has too many conditions. Icahn hiked his bid for Lionsgate on Aug 31. to $7.50 a share offer but insisted that Lionsgate rescind its July 20 debt-for-equity deal with Lionsgate director Mark Rachesky, or convert Rachesky’s shares into nonvoting stock. Lionsgate responded yesterday after the stock market closed in a Securities and Exchange Commission filing, recommending to its shareholders that they not tender their stock. Icahn’s offer expires Oct. 22 and he’s asked the Supreme Court of British Columbia to reverse the issuance of Lionsgate stock to Rachesky with a hearing set for Oct. 12. The company’s July 20 swap of debt for equity increased Rachesky’s stake to 29% and reduced Icahn’s stake from 38% to 33%.

The series, which Dunham will write, direct and star in, will depict the “assorted humiliations and rare triumphs†of a group of young women in their early 20s.
