EXCLUSIVE: Vue Lumière has acquired UK-Ireland distribution rights to Julia Jackman’s starry UK independent title 100 Nights Of Hero.
The film will close the 69th BFI London Film Festival on Sunday, October 19, in its UK premiere, with members of its ensemble cast expected to attend.
It had its world premiere as the closing film of the independent Critics’ Week sidebar at Venice Film Festival last month.
Based on Isabel Greenberg’s graphic novel, 100 Nights Of Hero follows Cherry, whose neglectful husband departs after placing a secret wager to test her fidelity; and her sharp-witted maid Hero, as they fend off a dangerously seductive visitor.
Emma Corrin, Nicholas Galitzine and Maika Monroe lead the star-studded cast, which also includes Felicity Jones, Amir El-Masry, Richard E. Grant, Tom Stourton and one of the first screen roles for pop star Charli XCX.
It is produced by Helen Simmons and Stephanie Aspin for Erebus Pictures, with Grant S. Johnson for Project Infinity.
Independent Film Company acquired North American rights before Cannes this year, and will release the film in the US on December 5.
WME Independent is handling international sales.
