While
Leonardo
DiCaprio is being feted as the teenybopper
sweetheart of the 2000 Berlinale, a film he shot
in 1996 is finally on its way to the cinemas,
it was announced at the European Film Market.
The
first (and still unfinished) feature of US director
RD Robb, Don's Plum which
has been picked up by Trust Film Sales, the foreign
distribution outfit of Zentropa Entertainments,
for worldwide sales has so far been blocked
from release by a lawsuit.
However,
the dispute has now been settled and the film
is in post-production at Zentropa Entertainments'
new facilities in Avedøre, outside Copenhagen,
according to head of international sales Thomas
Mai.
Don's
Plum will be readied for Cannes, to be
included in Trust Film Sales' line-up for the
Cote d'Azur, along with another nine titles. At
the same time Robb has agreed to make his next
film for the Danish company.
