TWC heats up Toronto, buys two pix
Distrib picks up 'Vince Vaughn's Wild West Comedy'
Company has nabbed rights to two hot pics that screened over the weekend -- the Vince Vaughn standup-comedy doc "Vince Vaughn's Wild West Comedy" and horror movie "All the Boys Love Mandy Lane" -- and will release both theatrically.
Latter, which was shown at fest's horror-centric Midnight Madness screening series Saturday night, will be distribbed on TWC's Dimension label.
A source close to the "Lane" deal put the price tag at $3.5 million. TWC declined to comment on the price.
Company has yet to announce release plans for either movie.
Vaughn attracted huge interest over the weekend; after his Friday screening distribs mobbed producers, and thesp met with acquisition exces all day Saturday. Movie follows the personal and professional lives of a number of unknown stand-ups, with Vaughn as a kind of Greek chorus narrating his take on the biz.
Before the buys, no pics had been acquired at the festival proper, though several were announced at the fest.
