Gillian Anderson, Jason Isaacs Lead ‘The Salt Path’ in U.S. Release
Rialto Distribution International will open the film in the United States and Canada on May 22. The company announced a theatrical rollout after strong returns overseas.
Cast and premise
The Salt Path stars Gillian Anderson and Jason Isaacs as a couple facing ruin. They lose their home and confront a devastating medical diagnosis.
With few options, they set out on a 1,000-kilometre walk along England’s Southwest Coast Path. The journey becomes a story of love, resilience and rediscovery.
Creative team and debut
Veteran theater director Marianne Elliott made her feature film debut on this project. Producers Elizabeth Karlsen and Stephen Woolley helped bring the intimate story to screen.
The producers praised Elliott’s approach to adapting the material. They said the film’s tenderness and depth set it apart.
Box office and prior releases
The film has already grossed more than $15 million. That total comes from Australia, New Zealand and the United Kingdom.
Rialto recently handled Tinā, which became the most successful New Zealand-made film in the U.S. since Hunt for the Wilderpeople. The distributor expects similar audience interest for this release.
Distribution details
Rialto will handle marketing and theatrical bookings in North America. Rocket Science negotiated the deal on the filmmakers’ behalf.
Kelly Rogers, Rialto’s CEO, described the picture as quietly powerful. She highlighted its themes of endurance and second chances.
