Angelina finds distributor at Cannes

Cannes - Angelina Jolie's directorial debut has picked up a US distributor.

Her Bosnian War film In the Land of Blood and Honey will be released December 23 by FilmDistrict, a subsidiary of GK Films.

Announcing the acquisition on Sunday at the Cannes Film Festival, GK Films founder Graham King said Jolie's debut "signals the arrival of a visceral and compelling storyteller".

The film features a completely local Bosnian cast, most of whom were children during the 1990s war.

Jolie came to the Cannes festival this year to promote Kung Fu Panda 2 and for romantic partner Brad Pitt's drama The Tree of Life, which premieres on Monday.
