The official website for upcoming Bottle Shock has been launched — you may remember that the movie premiered at the ‘Sundance Film Festival’ back in January — and thanks to the site, I was able to update the filmography page and add HQ stills and artwork to the gallery.
View the last additions here; a preview of the poster and a still is to your right.
And finally, we have some news on the theatrical releases! There will be a limited release in Somona, California during August of this year (where the movie was filmed) and the general release date has yet to be announced but it has been confirmed, as mentioned below, under the cut.
“Bottle Shock,” the true story of a California winery family, will be distributed in North America by Freestyle Releasing.
Randall Miller’s feature starring Chris Pine, Alan Rickman, Bill Pullman and Freddy Rodriguez premiered in January at the Sundance Film Festival. It revolves around a vineyard owner (Pullman) and his slacker son (Pine) who join forces with a British winemaker (Rickman) to launch the 1976 Paris Tastings, which put the California wine industry on the map.
The film will be released this year in more than 250 theaters nationwide. Odd Lot International will handle foreign sales on the project at next month’s Festival de Cannes, part of a two-picture rep deal with Freestyle.
Miller co-wrote the film with Jody Savin and Ross Schwartz. He also produced the film with Savin, J. Todd Harris, Brenda Lhormer, Marc Lhormer and Marc Toberoff.
Freestyle also is distributing Miller’s darkly comic thriller “Nobel Son,” which also stars Rickman and Pullman.
