Off My Shoulders

Hailee Steinfeld’s new film, The Homesman has been picked up in the U.S. Saban Films has acquired the North American distribution rights to the film.

Directed by Tommy Lee Jones, “It’s set in mid-19th century on the edges of the American frontier. When three women are driven insane, the task of delivering them back east falls to a pious spinster (Swank) who employs a drifter (Jones) to aide in the effort.

They cross the untamed Nebraska Territories in a journey marked by stark beauty, constant threat, and psychological peril. Their destination is a church in Iowa where a minister’s wife (Streep) waits to relieve them of the lost souls in their care.”

The film recently premiered at the Cannes Film Festival to pretty good reviews. Hopefully, we get a release date within the next couple of weeks.
