Uncork'd Entertainment has acquired the U.S and Canadian rights to award-winning survival thriller The Lighthouse, with plans for a theatrical release this summer. The deal was made this week at the Berlin European Film between Keith Leopard, President of Uncork'd Entertainment, and Michael Fister, President of Angel Grace Worldwide.
The Lighthouse, directed by Chris Crow and starring Michael Jibson and Mark Lewis Jones, was nominated for five BAFTA awards including Best Director and Best Actor and won Best Visual Effects.
Film tells of two men trapped in an isolated lighthouse, surrounded by the deadly Irish sea, with both their minds ultimately pushed to the limits.
Angel Grace Worldwide president Michael Fister is confident the company's first release with Uncork'd will be a successful one.
Uncork'd Entertainment's upcoming releases include The Lullaby, released theatrically in March, Lou Simon's 3, and My Pet Dinosaur from Matt Drummond.
