Canadians to ReachEnd of the Line First

Posted by bob in Films, News on August 13th, 2008

Director Maurice Deveraux is frustrated that the economy being what it is, a good distribution deal has proven elusive for his film End of the Line. “It’s not hard to make a deal,” Deveraux said to Fangoria, “Tons of people want the movie, including many big-name distributors—but it’s increasingly hard to get a good deal, where you get a good minimum-guarantee amount upfront and then actually get some back-end royalties later. I’ve seen too many indie filmmakers who’ve never gotten a dime for all the work they did, so I’ve been extremely cautious. Luckily, Rob Herholz of Anchor Bay was such a fan of the film and was very patient with me, so after lengthy negotiations, he finally won me over.”

So, Canadian fans can expect a DVD release from Anchor Bay Canada and Critical Mass later this year complete with commentary, a making-of documentary, the Q&A from Fantasia 2007, deleted scenes and the proverbial more.
