Yoko Ono and Sean Lennon have authorized “Daytime Revolution,” a documentary about the week John Lennon and Ono co-hosted “The Mike Douglas Show” in early 1972, a few months after the release of their single “Happy Christmas (War Is Over).”
The Shout!

There’s basically no chance on Earth that a new documentary from Werner Herzog wouldn’t be acquired by somebody, but I am a little surprised that it happened before the film even made its debut at Tiff. A press release announces that the film, Into the Abyss, has been acquired by Sundance Selects for North American distribution. (The original title was Gazing into the Abyss: A Tale of Death, a Tale of Life, but it seems to have been cut down for the sake of brevity.)
Focusing on three death row inmates, two men and one woman, we’ve heard some (unpleasant) details on the subject matter, while interview clips surfaced online. It sounds like he’s really going to examine this without shying away from the worst aspects, which he should absolutely do; it needs to present the truth of the matter, not a lighter version. I’m...

New York, NY (September 1, 2011) – Sundance Selects announced today that the company is acquiring North American rights to acclaimed documentarian Werner Herzog’s upcoming film, Into The Abyss. The documentary, produced by Erik Nelson (Cave Of Forgotten Dreams) and executive produced by Dave Harding, Amy Briamonte, Henry Schleiff, Sara Kozak, Andre Singer, and Lucki Stipetic, explores a triple homicide case in Conroe, Texas, probing the psyches of those involved, including the 28-year old death row inmate who was executed just 8 days after appearing on-screen. Herzog’s inquiries unveil layers of humanity against an American Gothic landscape. As he’s so often done before, Herzog makes an enlightening trip out of ominous territory. Jonathan Sehring, President of Sundance Selects/IFC Films, said: “Earlier this year, Werner Herzog took us to unseen Chauvet Cave in Cave Of Forgotten Dreams which became one of our company’s most successful releases and the year’s highest grossing documentary.
