READ MORE: Breaking Glass Acquires U.S. Rights to LGBT Thriller ‘Downriver’
Breaking Glass Pictures has secured North American distribution rights to Álex de la Iglesia’s ensemble dark comedy, “My Big Night.” The film, which chronicles the behind-the-scenes mayhem at a New Years Eve television spectacular, premiered at the Toronto International Film Festival in September.
The official synopsis reads: “It’s only October, but the network’s annual black-tie New Year’s Eve spectacular has already been in production for a grueling week and a half, and setbacks continue to accumulate. A falling crane has just taken out an extra, and the show’s hosts are at each other’s throats. Oversexed pop sensation Adán (Mario Casas) discovers he’s been duped by a semen thief, while legendary divo Alphonso (real-life singer Raphael) is stalked by an armed and unstable would-be songwriter (Jaime Ordóñez), who’s disgruntled after years of rejection.”
“Releasing ‘My Big Night’ and adding another modern auteur to the Breaking Glass family is a dream come true,” said Rich Wolff, CEO Breaking Glass Pictures. “In a world of dark independent features, Alex’s films have always done a masterful job of bringing satire and comedy to audiences. We hope this one will keep audiences smiling.”
Breaking Glass is planning a theatrical release for April 2016. The movie will next screen in January at the Palm Springs International Film Festival.
