Anchor Bay Entertainment Movie Updates

Anchor Bay Films has landed the rights to 'Mr. Jones' at this year’s Tribeca Film Festival. The company has picked up all North American rights to the thriller from writer/director Karl Mueller.

Filmology Labs Entertainment is teaming with Grobman-Campbell Films to produce a remake of Embrace of the Vampire.

Anchor Bay Films has picked up all North American distribution rights to Vamps, a vampire satire from Amy Heckerling, the director best known for movies such as Clueless and Fast Times at Ridgemont High.

In the biggest deal of SXSW this year and possibly ever for the Austin fest, Anchor Bay paid low seven-figures for U.S. rights to the Xavier Gens-directed genre thriller The Divide. Multiple territories are still in play.

Anchor Bay has acquired U.S. distribution rights to the Dito Montiel-directed cop drama The Son Of No One, which was the 2011 Sundance Film Festival's final premiere last Friday. I'm told the deal was in the $2 million minimum guarantee range and a P&A commitment for a theatrical release in at least 10 of the top 20 markets.

Anchor Bay Films will release the thriller The Big Bang, directed by Tony Krantz and starring Antonio Banderas.
