British rock musician and video director Kevin Godley (10cc, Godley & Creme) is to make his feature debut.
British rock musician and video director Kevin Godley is to make his feature debut with The Gate, a film he has scripted about Orson Welles as a young man.
The film will shoot in Ireland and will tell the story of how Welles, as a teenager, made his acting debut at the Gate Theatre in Dublin in 1931. The story starts in 1985, just as Barbara Leaming’s biography about Welles is being published. The filmmaker, close to death, is haunted by memories of his lost youth in Ireland.

BERLIN -- The European Film Market kicked off Thursday in its spacious new Martin-Gropius-Bau venue with a flurry of early deals to whet buyer appetites. U.K. independent distribution company Tartan Films netted all U.K. and Eire rights for the Cate Blanchett starrer Little Fish from Myriad Pictures, Myriad president and CEO Kirk D'Amico and Tartan Films president Laura De Casto said. Tartan is planning a theatrical rollout in the fall for the Rowan Woods-directed film that also stars Sam Neill and Hugo Weaving. The film is billed as a taut thriller and details the story of a former drug addict who is lured into one last criminal venture by her brother and ex-boyfriend.
LONDON -- IFC Films has locked down North American rights to Keith Fulton and Louis Pepe's "Brothers of the Head" while Tartan Films has taken U.K. rights to the same film, the parties said Monday. Written by Tony Grisoni, the movie premiered at Toronto last year and details the story of conjoined twins Tom and Barry Howe who are plucked from obscurity by a 1970s music promoter and groomed into a boy band. IFC Films is eyeing a July release while Tartan aims to debut the movie in the U.K. this spring. Produced by Simon Channing Williams and Gail Egan, the film was majority financed by FilmFour in association with EM Media and the support of Screen East. Both distribution deals were sealed by Hanway Films with Sarah Lash negotiating for IFC and Laura De Casto handling the deal for Tartan with Hanway's Tim Haslam. The North American deal marks a further collaboration between FilmFour and IFC, following the duo's recent teaming on Miranda July's "Me and You and Everyone We Know" and on the upcoming "Deep Water". The Tartan deal reunites FilmFour and Tartan, which teamed on James Marsh's Gael Garcia Bernal starrer "The King", scheduled for release in April.
