Alexander Skarsgard’s Queer Romance ‘Pillion’ Rides High With International Sales Following Cannes Success
Cornerstone Films has secured a raft of international distribution deals for Harry Lighton's 'Pillion,' following the film's success at Cannes.
The film stars Harry Melling (“The Pale Blue Eye,” “The Queen’s Gambit”) as Colin and and Emmy and Golden Globe winner Alexander Skarsgard(“Big Little Lies,” “Succession,” “The Northman”) as Ray. Reviewing the film for Variety, Peter Debruge wrote: “Laced with a wry sense of humor, ‘Pillion’ manages to be both understated and explicit in the way Lighton presents practically everything that happens in Colin and Ray’s unconventional relationship.” Cornerstone has closed deals with distributors across multiple territories, including Weltkino (Germany and Austria), iWonder (Italy), Praesens (Switzerland), MCF (Ex Yugoslavia), Gutek (Poland), Lusomundo (Portugal), New Cinema (Israel), Sun/Diamond (Latin America), Transformers (Japan), Challan (South Korea) and Swallow Wings (Taiwan).
