Millennium, Gravitas nab “End of Love,” “Hunky Dory” indies

Millennium Entertainment and Gravitas Ventures have struck a deal to collaborate on the digital and theatrical release of a number of indie titles, acquiring the rights to films including Amanda Seyfried-Michael Cera starrer The End of Love and Minnie Driver musical dramedy Hunky Dory, The Hollywood Reporter said.

Gravitas will handle digital distribution duties, including VOD, while Millennium will oversee the theatrical release. They also are partnering on home entertainment.

The deal also includes Guy Pierce drama 33 Posters, directed by Pauline Chan, as well as the previously announced Millennium title Hell Baby, the 2013 Sundance Film Festival title written and directed by Robert Ben Garant and Thomas Lennon.

The End of Love, which premiered at the 2012 Sundance Film Festival, was directed by Mark Webber and also stars Shannyn Sossamon and Jason Ritter. Hunky Dory was a 2012 SXSW Film Festival entry.

33 Posters, about Chinese adoption, had a previous theatrical run in China.

Hell Baby, starring Lennon and Rob Corddry, Leslie Bibb and Keegan Michael Key, will debut in July on VOD followed by a limited theatrical run. No dates have been set yet for when the other three films will hit the marketplace.
