Trudie Styler’s ‘Rose’s Baby’ Sells to Top Distributors
Beta Cinema has sold romantic dramedy “Rose’s Baby,” directed by Trudie Styler and starring Antonio Banderas and Eva Birthistle, to several high-profile distributors worldwide.
Territories sold include Australia and New Zealand (Kismet), Middle East (Front Row), Italy (Rai Cinema), Scandinavia (SF-Studios), Benelux (Paradiso), Poland (Best Film) Czech Republic and Slovakia (Foxx), former Yugoslavia (MCF), and Hungary (Cinetel).
The film is produced by Styler and Celine Rattray of Maven Screen Media and Tempo Productions’ Piers Tempest.
The cast also comprises Academy Award-winner Forest Whitaker (“The Last King of Scotland”), Úrsula Corberó (“Money Heist”), Arinzé Kene (“Tuesday”), Eden Hamilton (“The Railway Children Return”) and Academy Award nominee Richard E. Grant (“Saltburn”).
It follows Álvaro (Banderas) and his ex-wife Saffron (Birthistle): When their teenage daughter’s future suddenly hangs in the balance, a long-divorced couple — who can barely be in the same room and have both since moved on with new partners — must team up for the most unexpected mission of all: having another baby. As egos clash and old wounds resurface, their feud spirals into chaos, awkward intimacy, and something dangerously close to reconciliation.
Heads of department include Dante Spinotti (“L.A. Confidential”) as director of photography, Colleen Atwood (“Chicago”) as costume designer, Steve Summersgill (“Fair Play”) as production designer, Lizzi Lawson Zeiss (“Blade Runner 2049”) as hair and make-up designer, and Nathan Nugent (“Room”) and Walter Fasano (“Call Me by Your Name”) as editors.
CAA represents North American rights while Beta Cinema is handling international sales, presenting a first promo reel at AFM, booth #340 at the Fairmont Plaza Hotel.
The film is in post-production, after principal photography wrapped in late September.
