I do think release date is 9/23/11. Some links on youtube for trailer. Looks real good.
Another Tribeca Film Festival title has sold, with Magnolia Pictures snapping up worldwide rights to "Limelight," the story of the controversial nightspot of the same name and Rudolph Giuliani-era New York.
Billy Corben, who previously helmed Magnolia's drug-wars doc, "Cocaine Cowboys," directed "Limelight." The talking-head picture tells of Peter Gatien, the eyepatch-wearing nightclub impresario, and his emergence as the owner of legendary clubs Limelight and Tunnel just as Ecstasy and the rave culture were coming into vogue, as well as his subsequent battles with law enforcement.
Gatien eventually pleaded guilty to tax evasion and was deported to his native Canada. Gatien's daughter Jen is a producer on the film.
The movie will open theatrically in August, Magnolia said in a statement. The company made the announcement ahead of the film's Tribeca premiere on Friday night.
The acquisition marks the second festival documentary acquired by Magnolia -- the company previously picked up the culinary doc "Jiro Dreams of Sushi," about a legendary Japanese sushi chef.

Def the years of club movies lately. So many have come out in the past few years: The Villalobos movie, Berlin Calling, High Tech Soul to name a few. The europeans have been on this for a while, the US is just finally catching up. Wouldn't be surprised if something about WMC or DEMF comes out soon. I think Derrick May did a little documentary about DEMF a while ago. And djs now are doing their own thing as well, Luciano's "Ruta Del Sol" is an example, it came with his artist album "Tribute to the Sun" a couple of years ago. Crosstown Rebels doing Rebel Rave TV too. The movie about Studio 54 kinda sucked though, something better needs to be done if there isn't something already, I'm sure there is...
A friend of mine texted me the other day from a documentary opening party @ Tribeca. The doc was called "My House Rocs". Lots of Garage heads in attendance.

Party Monster. I don't know, it was ok. Haven't seen it in a few years though, maybe if I saw it again, I'd prob change my opinion. It wasn't nearly as bad as 54 though, haha.
