Actors Josh Lawson and Isabel Lucas have been named Best Hollywood Newcomers at the Beverly Hills Film, TV and New Media Festival for their roles in an Australian film which is yet to get distribution two years after being made.
Despite gaining recognition at a number of festivals, it now looks like The Wedding Party will not get a release this year.
Directed by Amanda Jane and produced by Nicole Minchin, the romantic comedy opened MIFF last year.
In late May, Minchin told Encore: “We are looking forward to a local release in the second half of this year with an announcement in the coming weeks.”
However, she today told Encore: “The thing is, we haven’t struggled to get distribution, it’s about finding the best distribution plan. It’s an audience film, as our MIFF win shows, so it’s only spurred us on to make sure it gets seen in cinemas.”
“We’re planning on releasing it early next year. I can’t say who’s distributing it. We’re currently finalising the distribution agreement.”
Originally specialty distributor Arkles Entertainment was due to distribute the film locally but Minchin said the two parties came to an agreement that Arkles wouldn’t distribute the film.

• Vogue (Aus) – December 2011 x24
A new featurette for Immortals has been released, and this one focuses on the score of the movie. No real Athena, but worth a watch still:
The all-new Australian Vogue iPad app launched today, and with that came a full set of photos from Isabel’s huge spread for the magazine!! The shoot is just gorgeous, and shows Isabel at her most natural and therefore most beautiful. I love the African landscape background and the super chic outfits Isabel is seen wearing. Just beautiful! The interview is of course a good read too, I particularly liked reading about Isabel’s thoughts on how she became more comfortable with working as an actor, and the whole interview just reminds me how sweet and unassuming she seems to be.
A really big thanks goes to my friend Maria for sending us snaps from the iPad app and giving us our first look at the spread! I’ve added various photos to the Gallery – some of which are from the iPad app, others just found on the web – to make up the whole spread. If we’re even luckier Isabel fans then we might have exclusive scans from the issue soon.

New reports today are saying Isabel has been cast in another movie, and this is another BIG one! Terrence Malick is a heavy-weight and very credible director and the same can be said for her co-stars. This is a really big land for Isabel, so a massive congrats to her! I’m really excited to hear more about this project … and to see what else Izzy has lined up.
Bale, Blanchett to star in two Terrence Malick pics
Christian Bale and Cate Blanchett are both set to star in two upcoming Terrence Malick films, both of which will be launched to buyers through Glen Basner’s FilmNation at the American Film Market this week.
”Lawless,” will topline Ryan Gosling, Bale, Blanchett, Rooney Mara (”The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo”) and Haley Bennett (”Marley and Me”).
Malick’s second pic, ”Knight of Cups,” will star Bale, Blanchett and Isabel Lucas (”Immortals,” ”Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen”).
Both pics are currently in pre-production and will shoot back-to-back in 2012. Details of the two plots are being kept under wraps but both titles will be separate narratives.
Sarah Green and Nicolas Gonda will produce both pics. Both Gonda and Green produced a slew of Malick’s recent titles including ”The Tree of Life,” ”The New World” and the upcoming as-yet-untitled love story project from Malick toplining Ben Affleck, Rachel Adams, Javier Bardem and Rachel Weisz, for which FilmNation is also handling international sales.
Pic is currently in post and has already sold to a number of territories including Studiocanal in Blighty and Germany, Roadshow Films in Australia and New Zealand, VVS Films in Canada, Vertigo Films in Spain and Metropolitan Film in Gaul.
The announcement marks a continued relationship between FilmNation and Malick. Basner remarked that ”FilmNation couldn’t be happier to continue to act as Terrence’s international sales agency.”
Malick’s latest duo of pics will be repped domestically by CAA.
FilmNation is also handling international sales on Sean Penn’s ”The Comedian,” toplining Robert De Niro and Kristen Wiig and Jeff Nichols’ ”Mud” starring Matthew McConaughey and Reese Witherspoon.
Additionally, it is shopping Christian Bale starrer ”The Flowers of War,” a $90 million Chinese epic helmed by Zhang Yimou. Footage was unveiled to buyers in Toronto in September.
In Cannes earlier this year, FilmNation announced that it was fully financing its first pic, an untitled thriller from Paranormal Activity creator Oren Peli.

Isabel Lucas says Freida Pinto is a “talented actress”.
Isabel is currently starring in Immortals alongside Freida.
The film follows Theseus – a mortal man chosen by Zeus to lead the fight against the ruthless King Hyperion. Isabel plays Athena the goddess of wisdom in the movie.
Freida portrays priestess Phaedra and Isabel was full of praise for her co-star’s performance.
“Freida’s a really lovely, warm, free girl,” she told the December edition of UK Glamour magazine. “[She is a] beautiful spirit and a talented actress as well.”
Australian actress Isabel started working as an actress on Australian TV show Home and Away. She got her first big break in the 2009 film Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen. However the 26-year-old is finding adjusting to Hollywood life a little difficult.
“I do enjoy L.A. when I’m there. But it always feels very transitional for me and I really was there for work,” she explained. “Plus my boyfriend [musician Angus Stone] lives in Australia, so there are a lot of ties. But I’ll be flying back to L.A. constantly.”
Immortals is released worldwide this month.
Aussie Vogue have posted a small preview of their upcoming December issue cover feature with Isabel, including the first 2 photos! Read the short intro article and see those photos either at their site, or below and in our Gallery:
African Adventure With Isabel…
12,000 kilometers. 250kgs of luggage. Three planes, each decreasing in size, and ten intrepid travellers all added up to a truly epic adventure for the Vogue Australia team.
Inspired by the tribal motifs in the recent international resort collections, fashion director Naomi Smith wanted to capture the true heart of Africa. Who better to accompany us on our travels than nature-loving Isabel Lucas?
After completing her latest art-house movie Loft in Belgium, the free spirited actress relished the opportunity to be out in the wilds of Africa.
It was her fourth visit to the continent, a place she feels very connected with and inspired by. And while many other actresses may have shuddered at the thought of wild meerkats, Lucas delighted in having them climb all over her.
The team spent long hot dusty days shooting the latest collections against the vast savannah backdrop, watched over by passing wildebeest, ostriches and the occasional distant zebra.
Then as the African sun dipped, we headed back to the supremely elegant San Camp. Set on the very edge of the unforgiving Kalahari desert and cut off from all outside communications, the camp nonetheless provided every luxury, the same comforts enjoyed by rumoured recent royal visitors. However a moonlit walk accompanied by a guard on the look out for lions is a reminder that there is only one true star of this story: the majesty of Africa.
I’ve added HD screencaps from the recent Immortals clips and featurettes – the ‘Zeus Whips Ares’ clip and Poseidon featurette both include new shots of Isabel looking stunning and very ethereal as Athena, and the Costume Design featurette has a nice shot of the Gods on set against the green screen. These caps are particularly nice because they are in HD – ie large and good quality! I’ll be replacing our Athena featurette caps with HD versions soon.
All of these videos – minus the costume design one, which I will find asap – have been posted here in recent weeks, so browse back through our Immortals and/or Video updates categories to find them.
