IFC Films Will ENTER Gaspar Noe’s VOID

At every Sundance Film Festival, one of the most talked about aspects involves the films that are picked up for distribution.  That is, after all, the main reason film makers and production companies show their films at this huge event.  And, just like clockwork, every year has in store a few surprise distribution deals that come before the opening gates of the festival have even opened.

Such is the case with Gaspar Noe’s ENTER THE VOID, as is being reported by IndieWire.  Evidently, IFC Films has announced they have picked up all US rights to Noe’s film about a teenager who dies during a botched drug deal but continues to roam the Earth as a ghost.  This is Noe’s first feature film since the highly controversial IRREVERSIBLE in 2002.

Says IFC Entertainment President Jonathan Sehring:

ENTER THE VOID is an experience that is almost impossible to describe.  Gaspar Noe is at the peak of his filmmaking powers with this film that is destined to become a cult classic.   The entire team is thrilled to be working on this film and with Gaspar. It’s the perfect film for all of our platforms.

The film debuted at Cannes and Toronto last year.  It makes its US debut this coming weekend at Sundance.  Be sure to check back for our coverage of the film including a review and an interview with Gaspar Noe during the festival.

Expect ENTER THE VOID to hits theaters and on-demand viewing at home some time in 2010.
