CHRIS ROCK'S 'HAIR' COMING IN FALL: Companies buy world rights to HBO Films doc about black hair culture.
(May 15, 2009)
*The HBO Films documentary "Good Hair," co-written and produced by Chris Rock, will finally arrive in US theaters this year after world rights were picked up by Roadside Attractions and Liddell Entertainment.
Roadside will release the film domestically in the fall, reports Variety. Lionsgate will handle home video and other domestic ancillary rights, while HBO retains pay cable rights.
The documentary also stars Rock as he shares hair recollections with such celebs as Maya Angelou, Nia Long, Raven Symone, Ice-T and the Rev. Al Sharpton. Stories of how hairstyles impacted their lives and self-esteem helped Rock formulate an answer to a question posed by his daughter.
"Good Hair" was directed by Jeff Stilson, a writer and co-producer of HBO's "The Chris Rock Show."
