Lionsgate has acquired Chris Gorak's thriller Right at Your Door
for $2 million, according to Variety. The film, Gorak's directorial debut, is about the aftermath
of a dirty bomb attack on Los Angeles. Sundance director Geoff Gilmore wrote the catalogue pitch for the
film, describing it as "ambitious and accomplished storytelling, wonderfully achieved and executed". I was
actually kind of surprised to hear the film had been acquired; I was sitting outside the press screening room when the
film let out this afternoon, and overheard a lot of press conversations that were not glowingly positive, but I guess
the Lionsgate Acquistions folks heard different press takes than I did; supposedly they've had their eye on it
since one of their buyers saw it at the premiere.
