“Firebrand,” the Henry VIII drama starring Jude Law and Alicia Vikander as his last wife, Katherine Parr, has been acquired by Roadside Attractions and Vertical for U.S. distribution, the companies announced Monday.
The period feature from director Karim Aïnouz (“Invisible Life,” “Mariner of the Mountains”) is based on Elizabeth Fremantle’s 2013 historical novel “Queen’s Gambit” and was nominated for the Palme d’Or at this year’s Cannes Film Festival. It marks the latest collaboration between Roadside Attractions and Vertical, which previously worked together on “Emily the Criminal,” “Benediction,” “The Pod Generation,” “The Desperate Hour” and “Alice.” Firebrand will debut in theaters on June 21, 2024.
