Moviehouse has now sold Jennifer Lopez and Marc Anthony starrer El Cantante to the UK (Revelation), France (Opening), Australia (Force), Spain (Isaan), Scandinavia (NonStop), and Benelux (Three Lines), and is in active negotiations Japan, Italy and Germany.
The project was previously handled by Voltage and has been with Moviehouse since AFM.
In other North American deals, Moviehouse has sold Toni Harman's supernatural horror film Credo to Grindstone Entertainment Group and has sold urban drama Sugarhouse starring Ashley Walters and Andy Serkis to Image Entertainment. Releases for both are likely before the end of 2008.
UK-based sales company Moviehouse Entertainment has expanded its slate with three new projects: The Burial, Brothel and The Dirty Three.
The Burial, a comedy drama about three brothers on a road trip with their dead mother, is directed by Danielle Boucher and David Mills. Stars are Pascal Larderet, Jean-Boubouche, Josy Corrieri and Alain Bridonneau. It is a UK/France project now finished -- the UK's JAck and Jill Films was lead producer. It was brought to Moviehouse through the company's relationship with Christine Alderson's production company Ipso Facto Films, which executive produced and negotiated a post deal with Molinare for The Burial.
Amy Waddell's Brothel is a US-set psychological drama, also completed. The cast features Serena Scott Thomas and Grace Zabriskie. 'It's the story of a woman suffering after her husband's suicide, and she moves to a old mining town,' Waddell tells Screen. Her new home turns out to be haunted by the ghosts of prostitutes who worked there at the turn of the century.
Also new to Moviehouse is Darcy Maine's Australian music documentary The Dirty Three. In addition to the titular band, other musicians appearing in the film are Nick Cave and Bobby Gillespie.
Waddell said Gary Phillips and Mark Vennis' sales outfit was the best fit for her film. 'Brothel is a small film that needs a chance. And they are great at that.'
Moviehouse's previously announced slate includes Ralph Ziman's Jerusalema and Abraham's Point starring Mackenzie Crook.
The low-budget Moxiehouse arm has Mad Sad & Bad, Who Killed Nancy' and Souled Out.
