The film — which had already sold to Grindstone for the U.S. — added Feel Good Entertainment for Greece, Eagle Films for the Middle East and Fox Asia for Pan Asia.
Burn, meanwhile, marks the feature debut for writer-director Mike Gan and stars Tilda Cobham-Hervey (52 Tuesdays, Hotel Mumbai), Josh Hutcherson (The Hunger Games) and Suki Waterhouse (Assassination Nation, Bad Batch).

“It’s been a privilege to work so closely with the team at Yale on Crypto and Burn,” said Epstein. “The response from the marketplace on both titles has been overwhelming. This reinforces that audiences still crave good filmmaking and great cast and we are well positioned to deliver just that. We are fielding additional offers from buyers who have been thrilled with the footage they’ve seen so far.”
Two new clips online from Elliott: The Littlest Reindeer.
Here’s the first clip fro Elliot: The Littlest Reindeer.
Josh Hutcherson stole our hearts as the artistic baker’s son Peeta Mellark. After the series ended, he lent his voice to the animated 3D adventure Epic and picked up parts in various smaller projects, including James Franco’s comedy The Disaster Artist and Steinbeck-inspired historical drama In Dubious Battle. Along the way, Josh even produced and starred in a few projects of his own. But currently, he’s killing it as the star of Hulu’s gamer boy adventure series, Future Man.
Screen Media has bought U.S. distribution rights to Josh Hutcherson’s animated movie “Elliot: The Littlest Reindeer” and set a holiday-season release for Nov. 30,
ennifer Westcott directed the story about a determined miniature horse who travels to the North Pole with his pal Hazel the goat to win a spot on Santa’s celebrated sleigh team. Lucas Lynette-Krech and Awesometown Entertainment produced in association with Elgin Road Productions Ltd.
Screen Media has set a November 30 theatrical release, after senior vice-president of worldwide acquisitions Seth Needle brokered the deal with CEO Jason Moring and senior vice-president of sales and acquisitions Mark Padilla of Toronto-based Double Dutch International.

Andrew Barrer talks about Die in a Gunfight here’s his Q and A down below:
“Gabe and I started working on ‘Die in a Gunfight’ while we were roommates in Chinatown the year after we graduated. At first, we were writing it entirely for ourselves, so the process was kind of insane and hilarious. We would work at all hours of the night, bouncing ideas off each other and writing the wildest story we could come up with. The first draft wasn’t even a movie, but we worked on it more and more seriously and went through a ton of drafts before we showed it to another soul. Then we had our closest friends read it and did some more drafts. We kind of broke ourselves down and rebuilt ourselves into serious screenwriters over the course of that year.”
“’Gunfight’ is about 20-somethings trying to forge their own identity. And that’s exactly where we were at that time in our lives. I remember the precise moment the title occurred to me. I had just broken up with a long-term girlfriend, and I caught myself having all these ridiculous heroic fantasies about being a tragically romantic figure in the big city. I laughed at myself and started thinking it would be interesting to tell a story about a guy who fantasizes about some heroic fate, like dying in a gunfight, and then is forced by fate to have a classically happy ending instead. I went home and started kicking the idea around with Gabe, and the next thing we knew, we were writing it.”
“No, but it’s also a project that refuses to die. It actually stands a reasonable chance of going into production this fall, with a team we couldn’t be more excited about.”

I added some new photos yesterday photo shoots from 2013-2011. I also added events from the Teen Choice Awards 2010 and 2015. And one of Josh signing at Macy’s Petacular Fair for Firehouse Dog. And a new photo from Burn.
Josh Hutcherson is armed, dangerous and in dire need of a wash in this first-look still from Burn.
The twist-filled thriller, formerly called Plume and the feature debut from writer-director Mike Gan, also stars Tilda Cobham-Hervey (Hotel Mumbai) and Suki Waterhouse (Assassination Nation).
The film, from Film Mode Entertainment and Yale Production, is produced by Jordan Yale Levine, Jordan Beckerman, Sukee Chew, Russ Posternak, Ash Christian and Michael J. Rothstein.
Filmed in the idyllic Hudson Valley, Burn follows lonely, unstable gas station attendant Melinda (Cobham-Hervey) who constantly feels overshadowed by her more outgoing co-worker Sheila (Waterhouse). When the gas station they work at is held at gunpoint by Billy (Hutcherson), a desperate man in need of quick cash, the heist goes terribly wrong and Melinda comes up with a way to make a connection with the robber, regardless of who gets hurt.
Film Mode Entertainment is handling international sales in Cannes. CAA is repping for North American distribution.
