WHAT'S COMING TO A SCREEN NEAR YOU

The feeding frenzy that is the Cannes marketplace is over, but the film sales continue. Here's a guide to who bought what - unfortunately we'll never be able to explain why some of these titles were bought.

ELECTION 2 was picked up by Tartan USA for the US, Optimum for the UK, Hopscotch for Australia, EMS for Germany, Remstar for Canada, and it was also sold to Spain, Brazil, Poland, Greece, Romania, Israel, the former Yugoslavia and Portugal.

Toei had its biggest year yet at Cannes (US$650,000) with YO YO GIRL COP (the SUKEBAN DEKA movie) sold to Celestial in Hong Kong and Rapid Eye in Germany. MEMORIES OF TOMORROW was sold to Hong Kong and China, and YAMATO was sold to Korea and Scandinavia.

CITY OF VIOLENCE, as we all already know, was picked up by the Weinstein Company in the US while it sold to about 20 territories worldwide.
