Drafthouse Films nabs "The Congress" Stanislaw Lem novel adaptationJune 10, 2013 - 17:17 AMT PanARMENIAN.Net - Drafthouse Films and Films We Like have jointly acquired North American rights to Ari Folman's sci-fi epic "The Congress" which debuted at the Cannes Film Festival last month as part of the Directors Fortnight section, TheWrap said. The companies are planning a theatrical and VOD/digital release in the U.S. in 2014, while Toronto-based Films We Like will handle Canadian distribution. Robin Wright stars alongside Jon Hamm, Paul Giamatti and Harvey Keitel. Based on legendary science fiction writer Stanislaw Lem's 1971 novel "The Futurological Congress," Folman's adaptation blends live-action and psychedelic animation as an aging, out-of-work actress named Robin Wright accepts her final job -- preserving her digital image for a future Hollywood. 20 years later, Wright's digital double rises to immortal stardom and is invited to take part in "The Congress" as she makes her comeback straight into the world of future fantasy cinema.
