 A24 has acquired North American distribution rights to the provocative sci-fi drama High Life, which made its Toronto Film Festival debut Sunday night at Roy Thomson Hall. The film marks French filmmaker Claire Denis’ long-anticipated English-language debut, and stars Robert Pattinson, Juliette Binoche, Mia Goth and André Benjamin. Script was written by Denis, Jean-Pol Fargeau and Geoff Cox.

 

Deal was low seven figures, and A24 will go with a traditional theatrical release.

 

The Beau Travail director this time has tackled a Kubrick-ian science fiction tale set in deep space, where a group of criminals head toward a black hole. The spaceship’s crew is a collection of dangerous prisoners. Monte (Pattinson) is the only crew member awake as the voyage unfolds in solitude, tending to the ship to keep them all alive as they hurtle through space. And also caring for a baby daughter, Willow, who was born on board. As the crew awakens, conflicts and chaos ensue.

 

Currently has an 82 on Metacritic and 94% on RT

Denis is uneven but at her best she's made some incredible movies. Based on what reviews are describing I don't expect this to make more than a couple of million but it's cool that A24 is getting behind stuff like this and Climax.

The Twilight duo becoming the biggest indie darlings since I don't know when is so weird and yet, it makes perfect sense.

Pattinsona a lot more then the other one. Pattinson has turned out to be one hell of a good actor.
