..even when they haven't been made yet. Fresh off the premiere of the
Stone's doc "
Shine a Light," Patrick Frater reports that
Scorsese's un-shot
Bob Marley doc flew off
Fortissimo's shelves.
The untitled Martin Scorsese Bob Marley docu picked up at the beginning of the market was the company’s biggest seller. Deals were completed with Contender for the U.K., Sandrew Metronome for Scandinavia, RCV for Benelux, Lusomundo for Portugal, Nu Metro for South Africa and Samfilm for Iceland. Company was juggling offers from territories including Russia, Japan, Poland, Switzerland, Greece, Australia, France, Italy, Germany and Spain.
Frater adds that the Crosby Stills Nash and Young doc, "
CSNY Deja vu," also did well. Story

Michael Jones is the film festival editor at Variety.com. 
This is interesting. Question: Which leads and which lags, Hollywood Biopics of Musicians (Ray, Walk the Line, etc.) or Docs of Musicians (Shine a Light, CSNY Deja Vu, etc.)? Two recent examples: No Direction Home (2005) vs. I'm Not There (2007) Standing in the Shadows of Motown (2002) vs. Dreamgirls (2006) Does this mean I can expect to see Johnny Depp as Keith Richards in 2010's "Wild Horses"
