Dendy Films has completed a deal for the new Christopher Guest comedy FOR YOUR CONSIDERATION with international sales and distribution outfit Fortissimo Films. Co-written by Christopher Guest (THIS IS SPINAL TAP, BEST IN SHOW) and frequent collaborator Eugene Levy (AMERICAN PIE, A MIGHTY WIND) and directed by Guest himself, the film is an hilarious and affectionate look at the film industry’s award season and the people that often find themselves caught in the surrounding hype.
FOR YOUR CONSIDERATION is scheduled for release in Australian cinemas in early 2007. Having already taken on the worlds of musical theatre, dog shows and folk music with devastatingly funny results, Christopher Guest and writing partner Eugene Levy now send up the Hollywood hype machine and depict all the inanity and indignity of the Oscar season and according to the Hollywood Reporter, the “results aren’t just funny, they’re face-hurting funny”.
