Tohokushinsha in Japan, Wild Bunch in France, Medusa in Italy and Dendy in Australia are among the buyers of Guillermo Arriaga's The Burning Plain starring Charlize Theron which is being sold at AFM by 2929 International.
The Weinstein Company (TWC) and Costantini Films have also teamed to take Latin American rights on the film. 2929's Shebnem Askin negotiated the deal with Costantini and Matias Reynal for the deal.

Laurie MacDonald and Walter F Parkes are producing and 2929 Productions' Marc Butan, Mark Cuban and Todd Wagner are executive producers with Ray Angelic and Theron. The film is set to be released in 2009.
'We were instantly moved with the intensity and intrigue of The Burning Plain,' Costantini Films founder Eduardo Costantini Jr said of the Latin American deal. 'With Guillermo's captivating script, and Charlize's universal appeal, the film is sure to engage and fascinate moviegoers worldwide.'
'The overwhelming response to this film and our entire slate leading into AFM is a testament to Guillermo's remarkable talent and the quality of all of the films on our slate,' Askin said.
