cannes, france, may 13, 2005 — coinciding with the world premiere of the company’s first release, gus van sant’s last days in competition at cannes, chris albrecht (chairman and ceo, hbo), michael lynne (co-chairman and ceo of new line cinema), colin callender (president, hbo films), and bob berney formally unveiled picturehouse. founded and jointly owned by hbo and new line cinema, picturehouse is the new theatrical distribution company to be run by bob berney, who will serve as its president. the goal for picturehouse is to be the theatrical distribution company of choice for a wide-ranging community of independent filmmakers, and to deliver a consistently high-quality slate of pictures to audiences. picturehouse plans to release 8-10 pictures a year. product flow for the new company will generate from four streams: hbo films productions, new line productions, a new slate of productions to be jointly funded by hbo and new line, and acquisitions.
picturehouse is proud to announce that it has acquired worldwide rights to fur, starring academy award® winner nicole kidman and academy award® nominee robert downey jr., written and directed by steven shainberg (secretary). set in new york in the late 1950’s, fur conjures an image of visionary artist diane arbus by intertwining a fictional romance with aspects of arbus’ life in order to explore the mysterious artistic development of a woman who is now regarded as one of the most influential photographers of all time. co-financing and serving as producers are bill pohlad and laura bickford for river road entertainment. executive producers are ed pressman and alessandro camon. additionally, bonnie timmerman and andrew fierberg are producers. patricia bosworth and vincent farrell serve as co-producers. shooting commenced may 9th in new york. international sales will be handled by new line international.
in addition, picturehouse has acquired the rights to the thing about my folks and ushpizin. tribeca film festival crowd-pleaser the thing about my folks stars peter falk and paul reiser in a semi-autographical film that reiser wrote specifically for falk. directed by raymond de felitta (sundance audience award winner two family house), the thing about my folks tells the story of a sudden family crisis which throws a befuddled writer and his “loose cannon” dad together for an unexpected road trip. directed by giddi dar, ushpizin is a heartwarming and humorous israeli drama set in the customarily closed world of ultra-orthodox jews. ushpizin tells the story of moshe and malli, a married couple, who are suffering financial difficulties. naturally they pray for help, but instead of a miracle, two suspicious strangers with criminal pasts appear on their doorstep. the couple believes their guests were sent to them by god as a test of faith.
"picturehouse allows us to bring a wide variety of films, large and small, to a diverse audience. we hope that by utilizing the strength, taste and independent spirit of the two parent companies we will forge a new and unique home for filmmakers," said berney.
"our hope is that picturehouse will come to represent ahome foruniquefilmmakers, those who are more established in the industry as well as those yet to be discovered, todo their best work and tell their most powerful stories. the name of the company is meant to recall the days of the silver screen when audiences went to ‘picture houses’ to be entertained and escape from their everyday lives. the diverse slate we are announcing today is representativeof the type of projects we feel can foster those same emotional ties," said colin callender and michael lynne.
under bob berney’s leadership, the senior staff of picturehouse will include:
robert schwartz as chief operating officer. schwartz has been part of berney’s core senior team for ten years.
drawing from both the fine line and hbo families, marian koltai-levine and dennis o’connor will serve as executive vps of marketing. koltai-levine will be based in new york and o’connor will be on the west coast.
former united artist executive, sara rose will join picturehouse as senior vice president of acquisition. she worked with berney previously at orion pictures.
all four executives will report to berney.
and, rounding out the senior team will be longtime distribution executives from newmarket films, bill thompson and john lange, who will serve as senior vice presidents and co-general sales managers. both thompson and lange will report to schwartz.
“this group of real professionals and veterans deliver us a premiere, full-service marketing and distribution company,” said berney. “i am proud to work with each of them at picturehouse.”
picturehouse is a company that is the product of two leaders of the entertainment community. launched in 1972, home box office, the pay television programming division of time warner inc., is the most successful pay television network in the united states of america. hbo films, a division of home box office, produces movies for the networks as well as films for theatrical release. new line cinema is the most successful independent film company and is headed by robert shaye and michael lynne.

last days
release date: july 22nd, 2005
written and directed by gus van sant
starring: michael pitt, lukas hass, asia argento, scott green
from hbo films.
a picturehouse release.
(premiering may 13 in competition at cannes)
last days is filmmaker gus van sant's meditation on the inner turmoil that engulfs a brilliant, but troubled, musician in the final hours of his life. michael pitt (the dreamers, hedwig and the angry inch) stars as blake, an introspective artist who is buckling under the weight of fame, professional obligations, and a mounting feeling of isolation. last days follows blake through a handful of hours he spends in and near his wooded home, a fugitive from his own life. it is a period of random moments and fractured consciousness, fused by spontaneous bursts of rock & roll. expanding on the elliptical style forged in his two previous films, gerry and the palme d'or-winning elephant, van sant layers images and sounds to articulate an emotional landscape, creating a dynamic work about a soul in transition.
although this film is inspired by the last days of kurt cobain, it is a work of fiction and none of the characters or events portrayed in the film are real.
