Blue Valentine gets picked up

The Weinstein Company makes a possibly really good move as they acquire the distribution rights to one of the more popular films on the Sundance Film Festival circuit, Blue Valentine. The feature, directed and co-written by Derek Cianfrance, stars Ryan Gosling and Michelle Williams that chronicles a disintegrating marriage between Dean (Gosling) and Cindy (Williams), told in flashback (THR). There has been a great deal of buzz over the film once it premiered at Sundance, making it practically just a matter of time before it inevitably got picked up.

The latest films to come out under The Weinstein Company include the dark comedy Youth in Revolt that stars Scott Pilgrim lead Michael Cera. They also have been doing their best to pull out a good marketing campaign for the well executed feature A Single Man that garnered itself, and rightfully so, a lot of Oscar buzz ever since it got a some what wide release.

I've been in love with film ever since I was a kid. The time, effort and passion that runs through a majority most film is something that's always attracted me to this field. What ended up happening with my big appetite for all things going on in the industry turned from random blurbs on Facebook to an unexpected but fun job. College student by day, movie news writer by early morning...or any time in the day and night when more news arrives. Working towards my bachelor's degree in film, what a surprise. I do other things too, like draw, write stories, maintain a social life and feed my pet dragon Lockheed. If you want to know more about me, hunt me down and just ask.
