That's a bit of a blow especially for Simon. It's disappointing to hear this but as was said the allegations are "completely without merit" so let's hope it's sorted quickly. |

Australian talent headed to Toronto including Simon Baker’s Breath
Screen Australia, 16 08 2017
https://www.screenaustralia.gov.au/sa....toronto
It was announced overnight that Simon Baker’s feature film directorial debut Breath will have its world premiere at the 2017 Toronto International Film Festival (TIFF) competing in Contemporary World Cinema. Breath joins two previously announced Australia films in this year’s line-up – the North American premiere of Warwick Thornton’s Sweet Country, which will close the Platform competition, and the world premiere of Violeta Ayala’s Cocaine Prison competing in TIFF Docs.
“There is no doubt that TIFF sets Australian films on the path to international success, as we saw with Lion and The Dressmaker. It is an incredible achievement for Simon Baker’s directorial debut Breath to be selected. The screen adaptation of this much-loved Australian classic not only showcases our industry’s creativity but also our country itself,” said Graeme Mason, Screen Australia’s CEO. “I’m thrilled to see Warwick Thornton’s Sweet Country garner further and well-deserved festival recognition, and special congratulations to the Cocaine Prison team for bringing a story of such global significance to the screen through an Australian gaze.”
Based on Tim Winton’s award-winning novel of the same name, Breath follows two teenage boys hungry for discovery, in mid-70s coastal Australia, who form an unlikely friendship with an enigmatic man and his wife, who push them to take risks that will have a lasting and profound impact on their lives. Director Simon Baker also stars in the film, alongside an impressive cast including Elizabeth Debicki, Richard Roxburgh and Rachael Blake, and introducing Samson Coulter and Ben Spence.
Breath has been adapted for the screen by Gerard Lee (Top of the Lake), Tim Winton and Baker, who also co-produced with Oscar® and Emmy® Award–winning producer Mark Johnson (Breaking Bad) for Gran Via Productions and Jamie Hilton (The Little Death) for See Pictures. International sales are being handled by Embankment Films. The film received major production investment support from Screen Australia, Screenwest and Great Southern Development Commission, in association with Autumn Productions and Deluxe Australia. Distributed locally by Roadshow Films, Breath will be released theatrically across Australia on May 3 2018.
“From an early age I was both seduced and terrified by the ocean. The Australian coastline raised me; it's enmeshed in my identity. Tim Winton’s book Breath authentically captured the rawness of growing up on that coastline,” said Simon Baker.
“I'm eternally grateful to everyone who committed to this incredible journey. Their support and encouragement is all there, where it should be, on the screen. I'm immensely proud that Breath will represent Australian cinema at the Toronto International Film Festival, and for the opportunity to share with the world the power, beauty and wisdom of the Australian landscape.” |

Thinking about the legal dispute between the Arclight company and Breath Productions, the article just says that Arclight "threatens" to sue the Breath producers (Mark Johnson, Jamie Hamilton and Simon Baker).
Could be only a matter of Arclight taking advantage of a grea area about their supposed deal to blackmail the producers and looking to cash in on this. (but I'm a bit biased  )
This said, I know American business lawyers are fierce sharks.  |
