Studio Canal seals Cracks...

LONDON -- French giant Studio Canal has sealed a deal for U.K., French and Benelux rights to Jordan Scott's "Cracks" in a multi-territory deal which will see British indie Optimum Releasing roll out the movie out here.

The movie, which is about to wrap up shooting, stars Eva Green, Juno Temple and Sinead Cusack and is a British boarding school-set period drama.

It has also attracted the executive producer skills of Alain Goldman and his production banner Legende Enterprises.

Goldman joins a list of top names on "Cracks" which is produced by Future Films' Kwesi Dickson, Industry Entertainment's Rosalie Swedlin, Killer Films' Christine Vachon and Scott Free's Julie Payne. Ridley Scott, Tony Scott, John Wells, Michael Costigan, Stephen Margolis and Guy Collins are exec producers.

The picture also secured funding from the Irish Film Board.
