Making news on Thursday October 20, 2016, Momentum Pictures announced they acquired North American rights to the Western/Thriller Brimstone. First premiering in September at the 2016 Toronto International Film Festival to positive reviews, Brimstone tells the story of a frontier woman turn fugitive when she is wrongly accused of a crime she did not commit and is hunted by a vengeful preacher. Written and directed by Martin Koolhoven, starring Dakota Fanning (Man on Fire 2004), Guy Pearce (L.A. Confidential 1997), Kit Harington (Game of Thrones series), Carice van Houten (Game of Thrones series) and Emilia Jones (Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides 2011), Momentum Pictures will be releasing Brimstone in theaters and on VOD in March 2017.
Momentum Pictures’ Senior Vice President of Content Ian Goggins states, “Dakota Fanning and Guy Pearce’s strong performances truly capture the work and vision of filmmaker Martin Koolhoven,” said Goggins. “We couldn’t be more proud to release BRIMSTONE so that audiences can experience this amazing piece of cinema.” That in mind, keep an eye out for Brimstone’s March 2017 release.
