Goodfellas and Utopia have announced a slew of sales for Gia Coppola’s The Last Showgirl following its launch at the Cannes market.
The movie, starring Pamela Anderson as a veteran Las Vegas showgirl forced to reinvent her life, was a hot title in the lead up to the market this year.
In first deals, it has sold to MENA (Front Row Filmed Entertainment / Teleview International), Benelux (September Film Distribution), Switzerland (Filmcoopi Zurich), Germany (Constantin Film), Spain (Vertigo Films), UK (Picturehouse), Italy (Be Water Film), Poland (Gutek Film), CIS (Capella Film), Australia (Madman Entertainment) and airlines (Skeye Inflight Entertainment).
Further major deals are currently under negotiation, with the expectation that all territories will be sold by the end of the market.
Anderson plays a seasoned showgirl who is left high and dry when her show abruptly closes after a 30-year run. As a dancer in her fifties, she struggles with what to do next. As a mother, she strives to repair a strained relationship with her daughter, who often took a backseat to her showgirl family.
Currently in post-production, the Las Vegas-set film also features Jamie Lee Curtis, Dave Bautista, Brenda Song, Kiernan Shipka, Billie Lourd and Jason Schwartzman in the cast.
Kate Gersten (The Good Place) wrote the original story and screenplay. Robert Schwartzman (The Good Half) and Natalie Farrey (Her) produced. Cinematography is by Autumn Durald Arkapaw (Black Panther: Wakanda Forever), and Andrew Wyatt (Barbie) wrote the original music.
The movie’s Cannes Market roll-out marked the first joint sales operation between Paris-based sales and production company Goodfellas and New York and L.A.-based distributor and sales company Utopia, building on a relationship formed over the latter’s acquisition and distribution of Goodfellas titles such as Holy Spider and Vortex.
“This has far exceeded our projections, we’re extremely proud of how well buyers responded to the script and promo reel, and very happy with this first co-selling experience,” commented Goodfellas Head of Sales Eva Diederix and Utopia VP of Sales Marie Zeniter.
