'The Raid': Indonesian action picture

Toronto Midnight Madness winning martial arts film 'The Raid' is coming to punch you in the face in the spring of 2012.

Gareth Huw Evans' reunion with his 'Merantau' star Iko Uwais has been stirring up huge buzz on the festival circuit - the film is currently part of the main competition in Torino - with the driving question from fans being when they will be able to see it in local cinemas. The answer is soon.

Though they have not yet put a firm date on it it has just been announced that Sony Pictures Classics will be handling the release of the film in spring of 2012 in Sony controlled territories. The goal of producers and distributors around the world is to go day and date - or as close to it as possible - worldwide so expect other territories to follow suit.
