Highland Film Group Boogies To ‘The Baytown Disco’ For Foreign Sales: Cannes

Los Angeles, Calif. May 9, 2012 – William O. Perkins, founder and President of LLeju Productions announced today that Highland Film Group (HFG) will handle international sales for THE BAYTOWN DISCO starring Academy Award Winner Billy Bob Thornton, Eva Longoria, Paul Wesley, Andre Braugher, Clayne Crawford, Travis Fimmel, Daniel Cudmore, and Thomas Brodie-Sangster beginning at the Cannes Film Festival.

Perkins, through his LLeju Productions banner, optioned the script, controls the rights, financed and produced. Robert Teitel from State Street Pictures is producing alongside LLeju Productions. Barry Battles directed the blacklisted script he co-wrote with Griffin Hood, which was shot on location in Louisiana. WME is representing the North American rights.

THE BAYTOWN DISCO is a wickedly playful, high-velocity action-comedy in which three infamously ruthless Alabama brothers find themselves on the wrong side of crooked cops, relentless Feds, mad mobsters, road pirates, tomahawk-wielding bikers, tricky femme fatales and an unforgettable cast of characters as colorful as they are lethal when they finally try to do a single good deed.

Highland Film Group (HFG) is an independent production and sales company that acquires and distributes quality filmed entertainment across multiple platforms to worldwide audiences. Formed in 2010 by Arianne Fraser, HFG has recently acquired titles such as SOMEDAY THIS PAIN WILL BE USEFUL TO YOU starring Lucy Liu, Marcia Gay Harden and Ellen Burstyn and REVENGE FOR JOLLY! with Ryan Phillippe and Kristen Wiig.
