Bleecker Street has snapped up U.S. rights to Alice Troughton’s feature directorial debut The Tutor, which will star Oscar nominees Richard E. Grant and Julie Delpy and Daryl McCormack. Bleecker Street is planning a 2023 release in cinemas.
The project, billed as a high-class thriller examining social status, follows an aspiring young author, hungry for recognition and success, who takes a tutoring position at a legendary writer’s estate. Soon the young tutor realizes he is engulfed in his hero’s complicated family legacy which holds a deadly past and threatens his own future. Alex MacKeith penned the screenplay.
Poison Chef’s Camille Gatin, Jeva Films’ Cassandra Sigsgaard, Egoli Tossell Pictures’ Judy Tossell and Constellation Productions’ Fabien Westerhoff are producing the film. Bleecker Street’s Andrew Karpen and Kent Sanderson will serve as EPs, with Miranda King serving as an associate producer and overseeing for the studio. London and Paris based Film Constellation is handling global sales with cameras rolling in Hamburg, Germany on June 13.
Said the pic’s producers, “We couldn’t be happier to team up with Bleecker Street to bring to life Alice’s unique vision of Alex’s page turner, paired with this fiercely talented cast and crafted by a gifted filmmaking team in Germany.”
Grant was nominated for an Oscar for his turn in Can You Ever Forgive Me? opposite Melissa McCarthy for Searchlight Pictures. He will soon be seen in Persuasion starring Dakota Johnson and most recently starred in Everybody’s Talking About Jamie for New Regency which was nominated for a BAFTA Award for Outstanding British Film of the Year.
