EXCLUSIVE: Metrodome nabs Gabriele Salvatores’ Siberian Education in Cannes and Ciaran Foy’s Citadel.

UK distributor Metrodome has picked up Gabriele Salvatores English-language thriller Siberian Education, starring John Malkovich, and Ciaran Foy’s Citadel.

Adapted from Nicolai Lilin’s memoir about a gang of children growing up in a community of banished criminals, Siberian Education grossed more than €6m at the Italian box office.

The deal was negotiated by Eve Schoukroun from WestEnd Films and Metrodome’s head of acquisitions Giles Edwards.
