TWC’s Cannes Favorite ‘Three Generations’ Set For Release
Three Generations, the transgender story starring Naomi Watts, Elle Fanning and Susan Sarandon that was acquired by The Weinstein Company when they slapped down a big $6M at this year’s Cannes Film Festival just was pegged for a limited release on September 18.
The Gaby Dellal-directed film was financed by Big Beach’s Marc Turtletaub and Peter Saraf who produced it with Dorothy Berwin. Fanning plays a New York teenager who wants to transition from female to male. Watts is her single mother and Sarandon her lesbian music-manager grandmother. The project was written by Nikole Beckwith.
The $6M deal called for a 500-minimum screen commitment so TWC just made good on the promise and they clearly see it as a possible awards contender.
