Breaking Glass Charms A HANDSOME DEVIL With Irish Coming-Of-Age Tale Starring Andrew Scott

Philadelphia, PA, April 26, 2017--Breaking Glass Pictures has acquired North American rights to John Butler's jaunty, entertaining comedy/drama HANDSOME DEVIL starring Andrew Scott (Sherlock, SPECTRE). Breaking Glass acquired the North American rights to the film in March in a deal negotiated between Breaking Glass CEO Rich Wolff and Peter Van Steemberg of ICM Partners. Breaking Glass is planning a limited theatrical in New York, Los Angeles, Miami, San Francisco, and other select cities on June 2; the film streets on DVD and all major North American TVOD platforms June 6, 2017.

HANDSOME DEVIL held its world premiere at the Toronto International Film Festival, its US premiere at NewFest, and went on to play the Glasgow Film Festival, the AFI European Showcase, and the Miami International Film Festival.

Along with Scott, HANDSOME DEVIL also stars Fionn O'Shea (THE SIEGE OF JADOTVILLE), Nicholas Galitzine (HIGH STRUNG), Moe Dunford ("Vikings"), and Michael McElhatton ("Game of Thrones"). The film's production team includes Producers Rebecca O'Flanagan, Robert Walpole, and Co-Producers Claire McCaughley, and Sarah Gunn.

HANDSOME DEVIL follows Ned, the bullied outsider, and Conor, the new boy and star athlete, who are forced to room together at their boarding school. The boys take an instant dislike to each other, and seem destined to remain enemies until an English teacher, Mr. Sherry, begins to drill into them the value of finding one's own voice. This lesson, however, isn't appreciated by everyone, particularly rugby coach Pascal, who has his own agenda and harbors some deep suspicions about the boys' teacher.

The film is written and directed by John Butler. In 2011, Butler directed the IFTA award-winning sketch show Your Bad Self for RTE, followed by the 2012 feature IMMATURKTY FOR CHARITY starring Brendan & Domhnall Gleeson. In 2014, Butler directed and co-wrote THE STAG (aka BACHELOR WEEKEND), starring Andrew Scott, which premiered at the Toronto International Film Festival, and won Butler the DGA Director's Finders Series. Butler is also a novelist, his debut novel THE TENDERLOIN was published by Picador and short-listed at the Irish Book Awards, and writer, his work appearing in The Irish Times, The Dublin Review, The San Francisco Chronicle, and on NPR.

"Handsome Devil is a personal film that springs from fragments of memory, but my fervent hope is that it has something to say in 2017, to young people today, to those growing up LGBTQI, or those who are just plain lonely", said director John Butler. "Even more than that, I hope it makes people laugh, and I'm glad to be bringing the film to a wider audience with Breaking Glass Pictures."

"We could not be more excited to bring Handsome Devil to North American audiences from such an emerging filmmaking talent", said Michael Repsch, SVP of Distribution & Sales at Breaking Glass. "In this modern coming-of-age story, director John Butler has captured the essence of a generation, and made a film that all can relate to."
