Drafthouse Films has acquired North American rights from LevelK to the Danish box office hit ahead of Monday’s North American premiere in Toronto.
Anders Thomas Jensen’s Men & Chicken tells of two brothers who discover a horrible truth about themselves when they head to an island mansion to meet their estranged father and eccentric siblings. Mads Mikkelsen and David Dencik star.
“We’ve loved Anders’ work since we first saw Flickering Lights,” says Drafthouse Films COO James Emanuel Shapiro. “And Adam’s Apples is one of the big reasons why Fantastic Fest exists. Its exciting as a fan to work with him on his latest film.”
Fantastic Fest, a division of the Alamo Drafthouse Cinemas family, will present the US premiere of Men & Chicken later this month.
Drafthouse plans a limited release for 2016. LevelK has licensed rights to Imagine Film Distribution in Belgium, Luxembourg and the Netherlands, Vertigo Media in Hungary, Film Europe S.R.O in the Czech Republic and Slovakia and Estin Film in Estonia.
The film is on the shortlist to be named Denmark’s official Oscar submission.
