Another fairy tale has been updated, and will soon be hitting a theater near you. At least this time it’s of the macabre variety…
A new film version of BLUEBEARD, which has been making the festival rounds recently, has been picked up by Strand Releasing. The distributor will release the film in North America in the Spring of 2010.
The story of BLUEBEARD involves a psychotic, wife-killing aristocrat who keeps the bodies of his deceased lovelies in a secret room in his castle. The film will alternate between the bloody tale and two sisters who are reading the story in the present day.
Catherine Breillat’s film will be at the New York Film Festival soon, having already hit up the Berlin and Vancouver fests.
