  • Eddie: the Sleepwalking Cannibal
    Presents EDDIE: THE SLEEPWALKING CANNIBAL A FILM BY BORIS RODRIGUEZ Starring Thure Lindhardt In English 83 min., Canada/Denmark To download hi-res images and video clips: http://www.musicboxfilms.com/eddie--the-sleepwalking-cannibal-movies-57.php NY Press Contact: LA/Online Press Contact: Emma Griffiths Clay Dollarhide Emma Griffiths PR Ginsberg/ Libby 917-806-0599 323-645-6819 [email protected] [email protected] SYNPOSIS Thure Lindhardt (Keep the Lights On) stars in this quirky horror-comedy as Lars, a former darling of the art scene slipping away into the land of has-beens and struggling with lack of inspiration. When Lars’ art dealer Ronny arranges a teaching job in a small town as a “therapeutic measure” to stir up his creative juices, things don’t quite turn out as planned. At first, life in the peaceful small town seems rosy, as he settles in and impresses beautiful fellow colleague Leslie by taking in the brawny, mute Eddie after the latter’s caregiver passes away. But Lars soon discovers that the façade of serenity hides something unimaginable: Eddie suffers from a rare form of sleepwalking that transforms him from a docile, cereal-obsessed art student into a ravenous sleepwalking cannibal. Initially horrified by Eddie’s dark secret, Lars becomes enthralled by the not-so-gentle giant: at long last, here’s the muse he’d been searching for! Exceptional art comes at a very high price...and how far is Lars willing to go for his next masterpiece? Eddie: The Sleepwalking Cannibal is a fresh, clever satire about artistic inspiration that pushes boundaries with its unique blend of offbeat humor, twisted friendships, sweet-hearted romance, and the gory realities of sleepwalking cannibalism.

  • Of Rio Algom, Represents in My View a Private Arrangement Between Rio
    Page 22 of Rio Algom, represents in my view a private arrangement between Rio Algom and participants that would not give any rights to third parties except perhaps shareholders of Rio Algom derivately. When Albino encashed his rights under the Incentive Plan, he sold no shares into the market. There was no person in the market who purchased shares from or sold shares to him. No report of any trade was made over the Toronto Stock Exchange tape or the tape of any other stock exchange on which the shares of Rio Algom were listed. His encashment of award units was market neutral. If his actions brought harm, it was harm to Rio Algom itself who, as a result of his actions, may have paid more on encashment than it might otherwise have done. This would probably give Rio Algom a right of action against Albino. We were advised when this matter first came before us on January 25 that litigation was pending between Rio Algom and Albino and that Rio Algom had pleaded the actions of Albino in encashing his units in its statement of defence. The matters now before us were accordingly in issue in the action. It was on the basis of this information that we granted Albino's counsel the adjournment which he sought. We were also advised that the litigation had been settled. While details of the settlement were not before us, nor indeed should they have been, we can only assume that all matters at issue between the parties, including the encashment by Albino of his award units, were considered in reaching the settlement.
