Упоминание о фильме Wild Horses в статье от 19 января 2015г. про Роберта Дювалля

Duvall is hoping to be back in the saddle again soon. He is planning a new film, The Day the Cowboys Quit, adapted from a book by Elmer Kelton. "It's about some cowboys who went on strike against some big ranch owners who would not let them have their own band of horses and small herd of cattle."

James Caan (a friend from Godfather days) has agreed to appear in it and Peter Berg is in talks to direct. The hitch now is finding the financing. Westerns aren't exactly a popular genre even if Duvall sees them as the quintessential American form of storytelling. "You (in Britain) have Shakespeare, the French have Molière, the Russians have Chekhov and we (in the US) have certain things and the Western is one of them!" he declares.

If the film does go ahead, the octogenarian star will be on horseback himself. He confides that when he was appearing opposite John Wayne in True Grit (1969), the Duke used to cheat a little bit when it came to the close-ups of the horseback scenes.

"They put a two-by-four (piece of lumber) on the back of a pick up truck and the saddle on the two-by-four and he sat on that for the close-ups."

There won't be any such short cuts from Duvall. To his great pride, he was made an honorary Texas Ranger in 2011. "They're like the State version of the FBI but to me more effective." The veteran star describes TV mini-series Lonesome Dove, in which he played a former Texas Ranger, as "probably his favourite part ever". He is also very proud of another new film, Wild Horses, which he directed and in which he stars opposite James Franco and Josh Hartnett.

Upcoming  comedies such as Paul Feig’s Spy with Melissa McCarthy, Warner Bros.’ Will Ferrell-Kevin Hart combo Get Hard and a rough-cut of the Judd Apatow-directed comedy Trainwreck are just some of the big studio titles that are part of this year’s 22nd annual  South by Southwest (SXSW) Film Conference and Festival lineup, running from March 13-21 in Austin, Texas.  The film festival has built its reputation as a counter-culture-indie event, however, in recent years it has become a prime launchpad and testing ground for big studio comedies and mini-major fare like Lionsgate’s The Cabin in the Woods and Summit’s Source Code.  Apatow received a big embrace from the Austin, Texas crowd here in 2007 when he premiered Knocked Up for the first time and since then has returned frequently, showing off comedic titles that he serves as producer on, read 2008’s Forgetting Sarah Marshall  and the HBO series Girls.  Even non-Apatow fare like Universal Pictures’ summer comedy Neighbors was hit with the Austin auds.

Also making their world premieres at SXSW are Robert Duvall’s Texas Rangers film Wild Horses starring James Franco, Josh Hartnett and Duvall;

Джош Хартнетт: премьера фильма «Дикие Лошади»

Стало известно, что премьера нового фильма оскароносного режиссера и актера Роберта Дюваля «Дикие Лошади» (Wild Horses) в главных ролях в котором снялись Джош Хартнетт (Итан Чендлер в сериале «Ужасы по дешевке») и Джеймс Франко, состоится в рамках кинофестиваля SXSW в Остине, Техас.

Точная дата показа еще не известна, но в расписании фестиваля указано, что кинопоказ запланирован в период с 13 по 21 марта.

Интересный момент. Премьера сериала Penny Dreadful также состоялась в прошлом году на этом фестивале — зрителям показали первую серию. Стоит ли надеяться на продолжение традиции  и в этом году?

Robert Duvall-Directed ‘Wild Horses’ Opens To Lawsuit Before SXSW Debut

EXCLUSIVE: Being at the center of a distribution legal battle was probably not the launch the Oscar winner wanted for his latest directorial feature effort before its world premiere next week at this year’s SXSW. But with a Breach of Contract complaint filed today in L.A. Superior Court, that is what Robert Duvall and Wild Horses are getting.
In their 5-claim filing, distributors Phase 4 Films claim that Wild Horses producer Michael Mendelsohn’s State of the Union Distribution and Collections last month reneged on a deal for the Toronto-based company to handle domestic duties for the Duvall pic. State of the Union informed Phase 4 in late February that the rights to the picture have gone to Millennium Entertainment AKA Alchemy, who are also named as a defendant. “Phase 4 brings this action to enforce its exclusive domestic distribution rights in Wild Horses and to avoid the irreparable harm that it will suffer if Licensor is permitted to sell those rights out from under Phase 4,” says the 9-page complaint (read it here).

In addition to a variety of damages, the jury trial seeking complaint from Phase 4 is asking for “a preliminary and permanent injunction prohibiting Licensor for transferring to Alchemy or any other distributor all or a portion of the domestic distribution rights that Licensor conveyed to Phase 4 under the License Agreement.”
While The Judge actor himself is not named as a defendant, his work is obviously mentioned a number of times in the filing as is ICM Partners agent Peter Trinh. The latter allegedly negotiated the agreement last fall and earlier this year for Mendelsohn that Phase 4 would purchase, as emails accompanying the filing detail, domestic distribution to the Duvall directed, written and starring family drama. Premiering at SXSW on March 17, Wild Horses also stars James Franco and Penny Dreadful’s Josh Hartnett among others. The deal that Phase 4 believed it had with financier Mendelsohn included “theatrical, VOD, digital, home video, and television distribution” in the USA and Canada.

Phase 4 thought they had a deal “closed,” to quote an email from ICM’s Trinh, on January 20 and started handing out dough to promote the film. At Sundance this year, Mendelsohn and Phase 4’s president Berry Meyerowitz met and discussed the film and doing future business together, the complaint says. “All in all Phase 4 acted and were treated like they were the distributor of the film. In that first month alone, Phase 4 devoted hundreds of hours, and invested tens of thousands of dollars,” they say of their efforts in February of this year.
Now that is all a waste because State of the Union is insisting there was no done deal but only “preliminary negotiations” with Phase 4 since last October. “Over Phase 4’s objection, and in deliberate disregard of that License Agreement and the rights granted to Phase 4 thereunder, Licensor has continued to negotiate with Alchemy to sell distribution rights in the film out from under Phase 4,” says today’s filing.

Phase 4 are represented by Robert Klieger and Randall Jackson of LA firm Kendall Brill & Klieger LLP.
