IFC Grabs ‘Citizen Gangster’
Citizen Gangster, about the infamous Canadian bank robber Edwin Boyd, and whose director won an award at the Toronto Film Festival, has found U.S. distribution. (See my post on the film.) The very highly regarded distributor IFC picked up the rights. Release date tbd.
Edwin is Toronto-bound
The Toronto Film Festival welcomes one of its own. Citizen Gangster, in which I play a police detective in 1950 Canada, has been accepted into the Toronto Film Festival, which runs Sept 8-18.
Edwin‘s site for the festival is here, and the site for our Program, Special Presentations, is here.
The title character (right) is played by Scott Speedman. Of Canada.
Oh, Sault Ste Marie!
So I’m shooting here in chilly Sault Ste. Marie, Ontario, Canada, just a quick swim across the border from Sault Ste. Marie, Michigan. The movie is Citizen Gangster, about the infamous Canadian bank robber and prison escaper, who operated from about 1949-52.
Scott Speedman (Felicity, Underworld, etc.) is playing Edwin, and Kevin Durand (Martin Keamy of Lost, etc.) is playing one of his gang members. My role is Detective Rhys, who arrests Eddie and then pursues the gang after their escape.
I’ve had little time to explore the area, but it’s beautiful (the pic is from my hotel window), and the people are preternaturally friendly — as one expects from Canadians..
