ROY SCHEIDER'S LAST EVER FILM - 'BEAUTIFUL BLUE EYES' SET FOR WORLDWIDE RELEASE THIS SUMMER
LONDON, April 13, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Today, new film distributor MOVIEFARM (www.moviefarm.com), co-founded by film industry distribution veteran Martin Myers, is thrilled to launch with its first film release – Beautiful Blue Eyes – starring the late iconic two-time Oscar-nominated actor Roy Scheider (Jaws, The French Connection, Marathon Man, Klute, All That Jazz), in a mesmerizing final performance, to be released this summer from 10th June following its World Charity Premiere in London on 6th June 2022.
Written and Directed by Joshua Newton and co-starring Helmut Berger (The Godfather: Part III), Scott Cohen (The Americans, The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel), Sarah Bolger (The Tudors, The Spiderwick Chronicles and Once Upon a Time) and Alexander Newton who plays a young Roy Scheider, the film is the first in what will be the ultimate movie experience for film lovers through new distributor MOVIEFARM, picking up the global rights.
With Roy Scheider sadly passing away during filming in 2008, completion of the film was put on hold until AI and CG technology was advanced enough to overcome the technical challenges faced by the filmmakers and now Roy Scheider fans worldwide will soon be able to celebrate the legend on screens this summer in 4k.
MOVIEFARM's debut release is the suspenseful thriller Beautiful Blue Eyes - set in Germany with flashbacks to Nazi-occupied Poland and is the story of Joseph (Scheider), a retired NYPD cop who visits his estranged son Ronnie in Nuremberg and insists that his neighbour is the SS Commander who slaughtered his entire family in a Polish forest in 1941. In flashbacks, young Joseph, escapes the Nazis and joins Resistance fighters in the Polish forests. As older Joseph enlists the help of his son Ronnie to kidnap Schrager, we're confronted by moral issues of justice versus vengeance, the meaning of the title "Beautiful Blue Eyes", and a gripping and unforgettable twist-laden climax.
