Lassie Comes Home to Roadside

Yes, that was cheeseball. Sorry. Anyway, we here at Roadside Attractions are pleased to announce that we, along with Samuel Goldwyn Films, will be distributing the new British version of the timeless boy-meets-dog story Lassie this fall in these United States. The film stars Samantha Morton, Peter O'Toole, Peter Dinklage and, of course, Lassie. Here's what that bastion of cinematic integrity, Yahoo Finance, had to say about the deal. The film recently played at the Sprockets International Film Festival for Children and the Tribeca not-for-children Film Festival in New York. Honestly, it really is a beautiful retelling of Eric Knight's classic story. But don't take my word for it. Here's what the Hollywood Reporter has to say about it. So this September, throw us a bone and take your kids, legitimate or otherwise, to see everyone's favorite telepathic pooch.
