Anchor Bay Films will release director Austin Chick‘s Girls Against Boys in both New York and Los Angeles theaters tomorrow, February 1. The film stars Danielle Panabaker (Friday the 13th, The Crazies), Nicole LaLiberte (HBO’s “How to Make It in America”), Andrew Howard (Limitless), Michael Stahl-David (Cloverfield), and Liam Aiken (Lemony Snicket’s A Series of Unfortunate Events).

In the film, “When Shae (Danielle Panabaker), a naïve college student, is tormented by several men in a matter of days, she reaches her breaking point, and is drawn into coworker Lu’s (Nicole LaLiberte) twisted plan for revenge. Together, the two embark on a gruesome killing spree, terrorizing and brutally murdering not just their attackers, but any man who gets in their way. However, after a wild weekend of retaliation, the friendship between the girls shifts into a dangerous obsession, and their perverse game becomes a desperate struggle for Shae to maintain control against Lu’s deadly and seductive influence.”

I recently had a chance to catch up with Chick and we discussed what it’s like for a male to tackle such a female oriented story as well as his approach to avoiding the “broad strokes” of a typical revenge film. Head inside to check it out. READ MORE

We also briefly touched on an upcoming project, Time Lapse.

GVBLand31112 Girls Against Boys Sails Out To Anchor Bay

Austin Chick’s Girls Against Boys premiered at Austin’s SXSW Film Festival on Friday, and since then there’s hasn’t been a lot of clarity in regard to which distributor might take on the controversial film.

It was announced earlier that K5 would be handling international sales, but there was no domestic deal in place. That may have changed.

Per Deadline, “I’m hearing that Anchor Bay is negotiating a distribution deal on the SXSW Midnight title Girls Against Boys. The controversial thriller stars Nicole LaLiberte and Danielle Panabaker as two bartenders who get revenge against men who abused them.”

The film, starring Nicole LaLiberte (Kaboom, Dinner For Schmucks) and Danielle Panabaker (Friday The 13th (2009), Piranha 3DD), is “a psychological thriller about two girls on a killing spree. With edgy and ironic humor and a darkly meditative tone, it is also a coming-of-age story about a girl learning how the world really works.” READ MORE
