Three stills including one with Rosamund Pike in one of her upcoming films, Barney's Version has just been released (via RopeofSilicon.com). The independent film, which stars Paul Giamatti (Sideways), Dustin Hoffman (Rain Man), Rosamund Pike (Pride & Prejudice), Minnie Driver (Good Will Hunting), Rachelle Lefevre (Twilight and New Moon), Scott Speedman (Underworld) and Bruce Greenwood (Star Trek) will world premiere and is in international competition (for the Golden Lion Award) at this year's 2010 Venice Film Festival in early September (1-11th). Also, it will screened in one of the gala premieres at the 2010 Toronto Film Festival (TIFF). Here's one of the three production stills from Barney's Version featuring Rosamund Pike as Miriam with co-star Paul Giamatti as the title character, Barney Panofsky.

Barney’s Version is a film based on Mordecai Richler’s prize-winning comic novel. Barney Panofsky (Paul Giamatti) is a seemingly ordinary man who lives an extraordinary life. Barney‟s candid confessional spans four decades and two continents, and includes three wives (Rosamund Pike, Minnie Driver and Rachelle Lefevre), one outrageous father (Dustin Hoffman) and a charmingly dissolute best friend (Scott Speedman).
This film has no U.S. distributor nor a theatrical release date yet. Hopefully, with its world premiere and screening in both of next month's Venice Film Festival and TIFF, it will get both. We'll find out soon enough when it'll be released here in the U.S. I'll keep you all updated and posted on this as soon as more news and info about this film is available. Stay tune and keep checking this blog!
