Another indie distributor essentially bit the dust Monday when indie guru Bob Berney walked out on Apparition for undisclosed reasons. This, after underachieving receptions for Bright Star , The Runaways and a few other films they absorbed from an output deal with Sony Pictures Worldwide Acquisition Group. Cheapskate Apparition owner Bill Pohlad claimed to be “surprised” by the move, installing an interim COO and canceling his trip to Cannes. No word yet on where this leaves Apparition’s overdue Terrence Malick feature Tree of Life , but expect it to be sold, and soon. [ Deadline ]
