Sundance 2010: HESHER Has A Home. SPLICE To Follow?

Good news from Sundance with word that Newmarket Films has just picked up the rights to Spencer Susser's Hesher. The feature debut from the director of stunning zombie short I Love Sarah Jane, Hesher has been one of the more anticipated titles of the year around here and it's good to know we'll have a fighting chance of seeing it soon.  Also good to know is that Newmarket is also in pursuit of Vincenzo Natali's Splice which means that film's distribution saga - US rights have twice been acquired by companies that failed soon after - may be coming to an end.
