And so it begins... I've long wondered what distribution company would pick this up. Question answered! Rlj Entertainment has announced its acquisition of all North American rights to “Nina,” the Nina Simone biopic that Zoe Saldana stars in; the one that found itself at the center of much criticism over Saldana's casting; a film that's been in limbo for a long while. So it finally looks like it’s going to see the light of day; although an eventual pick-up was all-but assured when Ben Latham-Jones of the UK's Ealing Studios (the company behind the film) revealed in an interview with The Hollywood Reporter at Cannes this year, that "Nina" would...

Ben Latham-Jones describes allegations in Us lawsuit as “categorically untrue”.
Ealing Studios Entertainment head Ben Latham-Jones has described allegations against him of fraud and breach of contract in relation to Julie Taymor film A Midsummer Night’s Dream as “categorically untrue”.
The lawsuit, filed in New York federal court on Tuesday (June 9) by Artful Dodgers In Performance and theatre company Theatre For A New Audience, concerns this year’s feature adaptation of Taymor’s 2013 stage production of the Shakespeare play, with plaintiffs claiming to be owed outstanding production payments on the film.
In response to a letter demand for purportedly promised payment, the complaint described Latham-Jones as “alternately combative and elusive, by turns denying any obligation, admitting some obligation, and disappearing purportedly to deal with various emergencies of family and friends”.
“The allegations are categorically untrue,” countered Latham-Jones in a statement. “The full budget of the film has been paid and certain overages are being settled. I cannot...

You remember that Nina Simone biopic that Zoe Saldana stars in? The one that everyone was all up in arms about over her casting, which we haven't heard anything about in at least a year?
