Bob Berney's Picturehouse Films has
Bob Berney's Picturehouse Films has shelled out $3.75 million to be the distributor of Robert Altman's A Prairie Home Companion, a feature based on Garrison Keillor's radio show. Meryl Streep, Kevin Kline, Lindsay Lohan, Tommy Lee Jones, Virginia Madsen, Woody Harrelson and John C. Reilly costar. Berney caught the film at a distributor screening in Manhattan last Thursday. (Another screening happened Friday in L.A.) Variety's Ian Mohr reports there was a bidding war, hence the nearly four million dollar fee. An impression was passed along by a couple of set-visit articles that Paul Thomas Anderson informally co-directed Prairie Home Companion, as a favor to Altman having to do with insurance issues. Berney told Mohr that the almost-certainly- folksy film would come out between April and June, and that he would sell it in part to "people who don't go to every movie but will come out if they find something -- the underserved older audience."
