Tribeca | Mamet in the ring
Last night, "Red Belt" writer director David Mamet introduced his film as "an homage to the classic fight film." Mamet transferred the classic genre and his bracing style to the mixed martial arts arena using principles of the samurai.
Variety's Dana Harris said she spied a commercial for the film on TV during a Lakers game, signaling that Sony Pictures Classics has bigger consumer marketing plans for Mamet's most mainstream movie yet.
