Newmarket Backs Controversial Death

Newmarket has opted to buy the U.S. distribution rights to controversial drama Death of a President. Director Gabriel Range's movie looks at the fictional murder of President Bush on October 19, 2007. A pseudo-documentary format is used, with ficticious interview subjects narrating over news footage - some of which is fake, including the swearing-in of Dick Cheney as the next president. The story then moves on to the hunt for the assassin, as well as President Cheney's decision to use the murder to invade Syria and to expand the law enforcement powers under the contentious Patriot Act. No release date has been set, but Newmarket may be mulling a Fall 2006 release.
