THE FP picked up by Drafthouse Films

Earlier we shared a bad-ass trailer and poster for The FP from directors Jason and Brandon Trost.The film is "set in a near post-apocalyptic future, THE FP centers on two rival neon-clad gangs raging an underground turf war for dominance of Fraizer Park (“The FP”) in the deadly arena of “Beat-Beat Revelation” – a competitive dance-fight video game." 

Drafthouse Films has announced that they have picked up the U.S. distribution rights to the film. There will be a limited theatrical release for the “rare ready-made cult hit” (Moviefone) is planned for Q1 of 2012. Here is what Tim League had to say about the purchase:

"I fell in love with THE FP from its world premiere in Austin, and for the same reasons, we decided to pick up the film for distribution. The Trost brothers have an amazing, fresh creative vision and I want to be a part of the team that helps evangelize their strange new gospel.”

This movie looks like a lot of fun. I am glad that Drafthouse Films continue to support awesome films. What are your thoughs on this news?
