Things move fast in the wonderful world of
“cult” movies.
One week you have an email confirming that
your offer for a film has been accepted, the deal is on, and the paperwork is
on its way, the next you hear that the deal has been cancelled, with all sorts
of nefarious reasons given.
Which is a long winded and slightly bitter way of announcing that the “Rights
Holders” – so we were told – have now at the
11th hour cancelled the deal for all of the Robbe Grillet titles.
Obviously we’re pissed off. We think we
would have done a good job on them and, let’s be honest, we were championing
these films for years in the face of general indifference so feel that we’ve
helped to create whatever market might have existed for them.
But we’re big boys and we’ll get over it.
And hopefully any of you out there who wanted to buy these won’t suffer too
much as we’re sure they will be released at some future time in the US
Annoying, but like we said above, business
is business. Profuse apologies to all for this hiccup. We move on…
