Another high-profile distribution deal was announced on Day 8 of TIFF, with the Nicole Kidman drama Rabbit Hole being picked up by Lionsgate.
Hollywood Reporter says that Lionsgate has nabbed North American distribution rights to Rabbit Hole, and plans to release the film before the end of the year in time for the 2011 awards season.
The movie, which premiered on Monday night at TIFF, is about a family that navigates the deepest form of loss, as a husband and wife fight to save their marriage in the life that begins again after tragedy.
Rabbit Hole also marks Kidman’s first film as both producer and actor.
This follows Wednesday’s news that Lionsgate and Roadside Attractions have picked up Robert Redford’s directorial effort The Conspirator for U.S. distribution.
And, on the heels of acquiring Midnight Madness hit Super, IFC has also picked up Werner Herzog’s 3D film Cave of Forgotten Dreams, says Hollywood Reporter, which was reportedly one of TIFFs hot tickets ahead of its premiere on Monday. Meanwhile, Magnet Releasing, an arm of Magnolia Pictures has picked up North American rights to Kim Ji-woon's film, I Saw the Devil.
Other TIFF titles recently acquired include Sarah’s Key, Dirty Girl, Submarine, Beautiful Boy, Insidious and Incendies.

The producer/actor combo is always an interesting one - though it doesn't always yield the best results (think Jim Carrey and Tom Cruise in the last five years). Should be interesting to see how this one goes.
What about the director/actor combo (Ben or Casey Affleck for example). Did you see The Town at TIFF? I didn't get a chance to, but I've heard its pretty great.
