EXCLUSIVE: Version Originale Condor has picked up French rights to Eric Khoo’s drama In The Room ahead of its world premiere in Toronto on Tuesday and plans an early 2016 release.
In The Room spans several decades centred on one room in a Singapore hotel and is based around a maid who works there her entire life but is haunted by the memory of a pop star she met one New Year’s Eve.
“We are thrilled to be working with Eric Khoo as we have been admirers of his work for a long time,” said Version Originale Condor head Eric Le Bot.
“After 12 Storeys and Be With Me, Eric Khoo created yet again a beautiful picture, filled with a myriad of situations and characters.”
Version Originale Condor’s acquisitions advisor Aranka Matits of Featurette negotiated the deal with Virginia Leung of Distribution Workshop.
“We are delighted to be working with Version Originale Condor on this film,” said Leung. “Their passion for the film is incredible and we look forward to its release by this young, enthusiastic and dynamic French player.”
Version Original Condor currently has the 2014 San Sebastian Golden Shell winner Magical Girl (La Nina De Fuego) in release and the slate includes Kiyoshi Kurosawa’s Journey To The Shore and Vanya D’Alcantara’s Le Coeur Regulier.
