Saturday September 09th 2006LOS ANGELES, Sept. 9 /PRNewswire/ — MGM has acquired all North American rights to RESCUE DAWN, the survival story of Dieter Dengler, an American pilot shot down in Viet Cong territory, written and directed by Werner Herzog and starring Christian Bale, it was announced today by the company’s COO Rick Sands. The film, which was produced by Gibraltar Entertainment in association with Thema Production, debuts at the Toronto International Film Festival this Saturday, September 9th, is scheduled for a theatrical run in December, 2006.
