Apparently just one distribution deal is not enough for Antoine Fuqua's film Brooklyn's Finest. After premiering at Sundance in January the movie, starring Don Cheadle, Richard Gere and Ethan Hawke, was initially picked up by Senator Distribution to the tune of $5 million. But times are tough, and Senator couldn't get it together to get the thing out there, so now Overture Films has swooped in and made Brooklyn's Finest its own.

The company's heads Chris McGurk and Danny Rosett told Variety "We loved the film when we first screened it, and we are happy Antoine's final vision for the film has found a home at Overture." That "final vision" bit is interesting, since when Senator first picked up the film back in January, Senator's president Mark Urman was promising that there would be big changes in the movie's plot. Apparently Overture feels more beholden to Fuqua's original vision, which might not necessarily be a good thing; from Sundance Josh called the film an "interminably long, brutally stupid, been there done that cop movie. " I guess now at least when we argue about the movie, we'll have both seen the same one.
