Angelina Jolie's directorial debut has picked up a US distributor.
Her Bosnian War film In the Land of Blood and Honey will be released in the US on December 23 by FilmDistrict, a subsidiary of GK Films. Announcing the acquisition on Sunday at the Cannes Film Festival, GK Films founder Graham King said Jolie's debut "signals the arrival of a visceral and compelling storyteller".
The film features a completely local Bosnian cast, most of whom were children during the 1990s war.
Jolie came to the Cannes festival this year to promote Kung Fu Panda 2 and for romantic partner Brad Pitt's drama The Tree of Life, which premiered yesterday.
