The Way Back at Telluride Film Festival
September 2nd, 2010 by Stephanie received No Comments »From The Hollywood Reporter today:
Just 24 hours before his new film “The Way Back” is set to have its world premiere at the Telluride Film Festival, Peter Weir and Newmarket Films have announced that the indie distributor has acquired rights to the World War II adventure drama for U.S. audiences. Newmarket will release the film Jan. 21.
Produced by Exclusive Films, “The Way Back” features Colin Farrell, Ed Harris, Mark Strong and Saoirse Ronan and will screen Friday night at the Galaxy Theatre after a special tribute to Weir and his work. The film, which Weir based on Slavomir Rawicz’s book “The Long Walk: The True Story of a Trek to Freedom,” tells the story of a disparate group of prisoners who escape from a Siberian gulag in 1940 and struggle across hundreds of miles and several countries together until they reach Tibet and India.
The Festival runs September 3-6 in Telluride, Colorado. You can check out the Festivals website here.
