"Where the Truth Lies" was cost $24 million to make; it is why Robert Lantos/Thinkfilm tried to find bigger distributor.

But "Half Nelson" wasn't produced and financed by the boss of Thinkfilm; "Where the truth lies" was. Peterlee Sep 21, 11:08

But Think acquired it all domestic rights at Sundance that year. They didnt have the ability to sell to Walmart & had less friendly rev Moviesnob Sep 21, 11:16

Hey, this is the only movie I was able to get into see at TIFF '05 and that's thanks to the fine folks at THINKFilm (at the time) {nm} secretstalker Sep 21, 11:02

Looks like THINKfilm was in better state when Robert Lantos owned it. {nm} Peterlee Sep 21, 11:10
