Odin’s Eye Entertainment has come on board as international sales agent to “Stealing Pulp Fiction,” an audacious heist comedy from director Danny Turkiewicz. The company will launch it to overseas buyers at the American Film Market that starts in Las Vegas this week.

It had its world premiere at the Newport Beach Film Festival on Oct. 19. And is set for a U.S. theatrical release in early 2025 through Giant Pictures.

The film follows a group of hopelessly ambitious misfits in their attempt to steal Quentin Tarantino’s personal 35mm print of his iconic film ‘Pulp Fiction.’ But what begins as a simple heist quickly spirals into a chaotic adventure filled with unexpected twists and comedic mishaps.

It stars Karan Soni (“Deadpool 2”), Jason Alexander, Cazzie David and Jon Rudnitsky (“Home Again”).

Adapted from Turkiewicz’s 2020 short film of the same name, “Stealing Pulp Fiction” was produced by Ben Shields Catlin,...

Over the years director Quentin Tarantino has cemented his love for celluloid films. From refusing to shoot on digital cameras, to using film projectors in his own theatres in Los Angeles, the auteur has left no stone unturned to establish his view of film prints as works of art. And theres no cinephile in the world who is not envious of his personal film collection. A new feature film from the first-time director Danny Turkiewicz is set to present his own take on the Kill Bill directors love for cinema in a heist film, Stealing Pulp Fiction, which has announced a release window of early 2025, IndieWire reports.

Few filmmakers have used their voices and resources to advocate for the continued use of celluloid film than Quentin Tarantino. From his steadfast refusal to shoot on digital cameras to his exclusive use of film projectors at his New Beverly and Vista theaters in Los Angeles, the “Reservoir Dogs” director has made it clear that he views film prints as works of art in and of themselves. His prized film collection is the envy of many cinephiles — to the point where it’s now the subject of a heist film.

IndieWire can exclusively reveal that Giant Pictures has acquired the distribution rights to “Stealing Pulp Fiction,” a new heist comedy from first time director Danny Turkiewicz that follows an ensemble of movie lovers who try to steal Tarantino’s personal print of “Pulp Fiction.” The film, which is set to make its world premiere at the Newport Beach Film Festival...

Director Quentin Tarantino has left an indelible mark on cinema with a selection of classic films from Reservoir Dogs to his most recent project, Once Upon a Time... in Hollywood. His Oscar-winning 1994 crime thriller Pulp Fiction, however, is often lauded as one of the greatest features ever made, taking a non-chronological approach to the intertwining, violent stories of two hitmen, a crime boss, his wife, and a boxer, among others in Los Angeles. Now, Cazzie David and Jon Rudnitsky are planning a heist of the iconic film with the bizarre upcoming film Stealing Pulp Fiction. While at SXSW for the premiere of David's feature debut, I Love You Forever, which she co-wrote and co-directed with Elisa Kalani, Collider's Perri Nemiroff asked the pair what they could tease about the intriguing title.

2023 edition of international finance forum adds episodic content to line-up.

Canadian 2Slgbtq+ film festival Inside Out has unveiled 11 projects to participate in this weekend’s seventh annual international finance forum, which is moving ahead after the end of the Hollywood strikes.

The two-day forum had been scheduled to run during Inside Out’s flagship festival in Toronto in May and now takes place from November 17-18.

The agenda includes in-person conversations and interactive panel discussions with queer filmmakers and producers, as well as one-on-one meetings with executives, and roundtable sessions on co-producing with Canada, and entertainment law and music rights.

Filming in Los Angeles continued to decline across most categories to start the year as Hollywood braces for a potential work stoppage.

Particularly for TV shooting, local office FilmLA attributed the dropoff to the suspension of production decisions “pending the outcome of corporate restructuring actions and industry labor negotiations.”

“Over three consecutive quarters, we’ve seen a significant slowdown across all of the most economically important categories of on-location production,” said FilmLA president Paul Audley in a statement, noting that “decisions about future content direction are on hold.”

The first quarter that ended in March saw a 7,476 shoot days, according to FilmLA. The figure represents a 24 percent decline from the same period last year. At that time, Los Angeles was enjoying a production surge due to a backlog of content stalled by the Covid-19 pandemic. The film office reported that the start of 2022 was the busiest first quarter ever, with 9,832 shoot days.
