Business Wire
Image Entertainment, Inc. (NASDAQ: DISK), a leading independent
licensee and distributor of entertainment programming in North
America, announced today that it has acquired all North American
rights to “Dare,” starring Emmy Rossum (“The Phantom of the
Opera”), Zach Gilford (“Friday Night Lights”), Ashley Springer
(“Teeth”), Ana Gasteyer (“Mean Girls”), and Rooney Mara (“Nightmare
on Elm Street”), along with Sandra Bernhard and Alan Cumming. Image
will release the film in theaters this Fall, starting with New York
and Los Angeles on November 13, 2009.
“Dare” was written and co-produced by David Brind and directed
by Adam Salky. The film was produced by Mary Jane Skalski
(“Mysterious Skin,” “The Station Agent,” “The Visitor”) and Jason
Orans (“Flannel Pajamas,” “Goodbye Solo”).
“Dare” follows three teenagers through the last semester of high
school: Alexa (Emmy Rossum), the overachieving good girl; Ben
(Ashley Springer), the melancholy outsider; and Johnny (Zach
Gilford), the rich kid who has everything. The unlikely trio falls
into each other's lives, making a last-ditch effort to shake things
up before they actually have to start living as adults.
“Audiences will identify with this 21st-century update of the
John Hughes oeuvre, as it perfectly captures this generation with
nothing to rebel against except their self-imposed inhibitions,”
said Garrett M. Lee, Image’s Senior Vice President, Theatrical.
“This film continues our plans to build a portfolio of unique and
entertaining films from great filmmakers,” added Lee.
Image Entertainment’s J. Beck negotiated the rights to the film,
which premiered at the Sundance Film Festival in the U.S. Dramatic
Competition this year, with Sarah Lash at Cinetic Media. The film
is a co-production between Next Wednesday and Gigantic Pictures.
Image Entertainment will also release the film for the home
entertainment market including digital and broadcast.
