The Ten Gets Picked Up By ThinkFilm

“The Ten” is a movie I’ve been dying to see for a long time (I first wrote about it way back in August”). The basic idea is that the movie is a collection of 10 separate mini stories each revolving around one of the Ten Commandments. fantastic idea, backed up by a great cast which includes: Jessica Alba, Famke Janssen, Winona Tyder, Amanda Peet, Rob Corddry, Ron Silver, Paul Rudd, Adam Brody and Oliver Platt. Not bad.
The good folks over at Yahoo News guve us this:
The indie partnered on the $4.5 million deal with City Lights Home Entertainment, which will handle DVD and digital distribution. Both companies will share all revenues. An August theatrical release is planned.
Damn! An August release?!?! Oh well, I guess I’ve waited this long… why not another 6 months. On the upside I’m glad to see the movie did actually get made and that it’s been picked up. I think for potential for this concept is almost limitless. Can’t wait to see it.

This is essentially the same concept as the Polish release of the “Decalogue” movies back in the late 1980′s. The Decalogue is ten short movies based on the ten commandments. Sound familiar? If you haven’t seen the original Decalogue movies, you really need to make a point to do it. They are fabulous.

I was about to post the same thing Amish Bill! :)
Same thing Bill.. :) Decalogue is fantastic.
Wow, I too was about to post about The Decalogue. When those were released, a journalist from here had flown over to see the first couple of them (I believe they were to show about two a night for five nights or something). He wound up staying all of them… changed his flight, and extended his leave.
