Modern Films Snags ‘Lady Boss’
London-based Modern Films has acquired Lady Boss: The Jackie Collins Story and is planning a July 2 UK/Ireland theatrical release. The feature documentary will have its world premiere at the Tribeca Film Festival on June 10. Directed by Laura Fairrie and produced by John Battsek and Passion Pictures’ Lizzie Gillett, along with Stuart Ford’s AGC Studios, CNN Films and BBC Arts, the doc is billed as an immersive journey through the trailblazing life of the English romance novelist. Narrated by a cast of Collins’ closest friends and family, Lady Boss shares the private struggles of a woman who became an icon of 1980s feminism while hiding her vulnerability behind a carefully crafted, powerful public persona. Collins was also an actress, screenwriter and producer, and passed away in 2015 after spending the latter decades of her life in LA. Modern acquired the film from AGC International. It airs on CNN Films in late June and on BBC Two and the BBC iPlayer later this year.
