Paramount Famous Productions Brings Home ‘The Romantics’
From PR Newswire:
Team Todd, Plum Pictures, Benaroya Pictures and Four Of A Kind Productions announced today that Paramount Famous Productions has picked up all U.S. and Canada rights for “The Romantics.” The film, which premiered at the Sundance Film Festival in January, was written and directed by Galt Niederhoffer, and produced by Daniela Taplin Lundberg, Jennifer Todd, Suzanne Todd, Michael Benaroya, Ron Stein and Daniel Hendler. Featuring an all star cast including Katie Holmes, Josh Duhamel, Anna Paquin, Malin Akerman, Adam Brody, Dianna Agron with Candice Bergen and Elijah Wood, “The Romantics” is about a tight knit group of college friends who reunite for a wedding of two of their own.
Daniela Taplin Lundberg said, “The response to the film has been extraordinary and I am delighted to have Paramount Famous Productions as our domestic distribution partner.”
“We are thrilled to be in business with the talented team at Plum Pictures and their partners. We have been tracking several of Plum’s projects and “The Romantics” is a great way to start,” said Louis Feola, president of Paramount Famous Productions.
The film was repped domestically by John Sloss of Cinetic Media.
The finished version of the film will screen in Cannes. Simon Crowe of SC International will sell the remaining territories.

Anna Paquin’s Killer Road Trip Playlist
From Black Book:
“I feel kind of stupid saying that music inspires me,” says Anna Paquin, during her morning commute to the set of HBO’s vampire drama True Blood, in which she stars as Sookie Stackhouse, a big-hearted waitress with a thing for the undead. “I love music, but when I try to narrow it down, to describe it, I feel dumb.” The 27-year-old Oscar winner recently acquired a new outlook on the power of the playlist. “I just learned to drive, and I’ve discovered the pleasure of good driving music,” she says, “especially now that I’m confident enough to have noise around me when I’m behind the wheel.” Fully immersed in True Blood’s third season, which premieres next month, Paquin admits that she has been too busy to search out new songs, so it’s helpful that Stephen Moyer—her real-life fiancé and love interest on the show—came into her life with a large music library. “A lot of the music I listen to comes from him,” she admits. “I think he has half of iTunes on his computer.”
Lady Gaga’s “Teeth.” I’m sure that everyone else on the planet jumped on the Lady Gaga bandwagon long ago, but I was just introduced to her music last month. She has this amazing voice and, honest to God, it sounds like this song was written about our TV show. It’s great workout music.

True Blood: Season 3 In Production – Sookie Tease
Tribeca Update
Hey guys, I just got in from the premiere of Open House. The film was amazing and not at all what I was expecting. Here’s hoping it wins it’s competition for the festival and the audience award. Anna’s role was fairly small in the film, but she was fantastic as always. She did not attend the screening, but I did get a chance to speak to Andrew Paquin briefly.
