Radius-TWC acquires ‘The Expatriate’: AFM title stars Aaron Eckhart, Olga Kurylenko
Radius-TWC has acquired domestic distribution rights to “The Expatriate” starring Aaron Eckhart.
Directed by Philipp Stolzl from Arash Amel’s script, pic centers on an ex-CIA agent and his daughter on the run when his employers mark them both for termination as part of a wide-reaching international conspiracy.
Olga Kurylenko and Liana Liberato also star with Howard Meltzer, Jonathan Vanger, Claude Lenger and Karl Richards producing. Harry Winer, Judy and Michael Cairo are exec producing.
International sales are still ongoing through Essential Media. A 2012 release date is likely.
“It’s ‘Bourne’ meets ‘Taken’ with Aaron Eckhart at his very best,” said Radius-TWC co-president Tom Quinn. “It’s perfect for us … I’m really excited about it and look forward to premiering it this fall.”
Quinn and Radius-TWC co-prexy Jason Janego brokered the deal on behalf of the label. CAA repped domestic rights on behalf of Informant Media, Smash Media Films and Essential Entertainment.
Radius-TWC, a distribution entity within The Weinstein Company, launched last year with an initial focus on VOD and emerging platforms. While the label has not yet decided on “Expatriate’s” rollout plan, pic will get both a theatrical and digital release.

Eckhart lives life in the slow lane
AARON Eckhart, a Hollywood heart-throb, describes himself as “a boring old man”.
The star guest at yesterday’s Grand Prix was happy to blend in with the crowd and admitted he’s usually in bed by 9pm.
“In fact I’m the opposite (of a party boy), I’m a boring old man,” The Dark Knight actor, 44, said.
“That was in another lifetime of mine, I don’t do that anymore. I’ve got to get my rest.”
Unlike last year’s guest, Gossip Girl star Ed Westwick, “speed nut” Eckhart dressed down at the track and was seen happily chatting with fans. He has been in town for two months filming thriller I, Frankenstein alongside Miranda Otto, Yvonne Strahovski and Bill Nighy.
Eckhart said he had enjoyed “exploring” Melbourne.
“Now I’ve just discovered St Kilda and the beach and the bay towards Frankston. It’s a great alternative, if you have the choice to make a film, Sydney and Melbourne is top of the list.”
Eckhart, a huge F1 fan, met Mark Webber earlier in the week.
He will next play Beach Boy Dennis Wilson in a biopic called The Drummer.
