Given the reactions the other day post premiere, I did see a few people saying this was right up A24’s alley and well – they were right.  Fabulous news for all involved, now I just hope Australia gets on board.  

According to Deadline:

EXCLUSIVE: A24 has acquired North American distribution rights to the provocative sci-fi drama High Life, which made its Toronto Film Festival debut Sunday night at Roy Thomson Hall. The film marks French filmmaker Claire Denis’ long-anticipated English-language debut, and stars Robert Pattinson, Juliette Binoche, Mia Goth and André Benjamin. Script was written by Denis, Jean-Pol Fargeau and Geoff Cox. 

Deal was low seven figures, and A24 will go with a traditional theatrical release.

My interpretation of “traditional theatrical release” seems to suggest theatres first and not VOD or Netflix.  Time will tell.

In the meantime, A24 also came to the party with the following tweets:

The Robert Pattinson-A24 Quartet is nearly complete.
