The weekend came to a close at the American Film Market on Sunday with sales and finance houses adding cast to projects to encourage buyers to splash the presale cash, while a flurry of deal memos also landed.
Buyers were greeted by the news that Sharon Stone and Amanda Peet have joined the cast of Nigel Cole's Five Dollars a Day, sold here by U.S. banner ThinkFilm International and financed by U.K. sister company Capitol Films.
Billed as a riotous father-and-son road-trip movie, Stone and Peet join Christopher Walken and Alessandro Nivola in the film, from a script by Neal and Tippi Dobrofsky. Carol Baum, Jane Goldenring and Kia Jam are producing.
Meanwhile, buzz is building on three titles.
The Weinstein Co. is said to be circling the horror film Eden Lake, from Pathe International, billed as a cross between Deliverance and Stand By Me.
The sales agent also is repping Jacques Perrin and Jacques Cluzaud's sea documentary Oceans, a follow-up to their Winged Migration. Disney is among the companies circling the big-budget project, due in mid-2009, and could see the studio reunited with Participant and National Geographic.
One of the most talked-about projects of the festival is the Peter Jackson-produced sci-fi film District 9, from director Neill Blomkamp and financier/sales rep QED International. Sony is among the strongest candidates to buy the film, set to shoot in the spring, sources said.
High-profile deal memos and pacts were beginning to land thick and fast during the weekend as attendees' thoughts turned to planning their exit from this year's market in the next day or so.
