Is there any word on how the implosion of New Yorker Films will affect the U.S. release of Nuri Bilge Ceylan's Three Monkeys? Eugene Hernandez's Indiewire piece, posted four or five hours ago, doesn't say if existing bookings will be honored or if someone other distributor will step in and take over. Here's my Cannes 2008 review.

Update: HE friend & correspondent Nick Dawson has been told that New Yorker "was handling the film as part of a service deal, so the release of the film won't be affected by the shuttering of New Yorker Films. Apparently plans on a new release will be announced in the coming weeks."

I hope you uncover more. I really wanna see this. Will admit i didn't even know it was booked in NY.

This morning, I was talking to the person handling PR for Fados, which New Yorker Films is opening at the Lincoln Plaza on March 6, and they told me NYF's situation is not affecting this run either. I'm guessing the already booked runs of current NYF titles will continue but nothing more.

Three Monkeys is currently playing in Seattle at the Varsity Theater. It opened last Friday and plays for one week. The Varsity is a Landmark three screen theater and one of the screens shows films for one week only with a quarterly calendar. I saw it in Toronto - not as good as his two previous films, but still a can't miss if you're into Ceylan's brand of art cinema.
