Gurinder Chadha Makes Big Deal At Sundance

Description

New Line is in final negotiations for a $15 million-plus deal to buy British filmmaker Gurinder Chadha’s film “Blinded by the Light.” TheWrap reports the film is about a 16-year-old British Pakistani boy in 1987 England. The boy's life is changed when his friend loans him Bruce Springsteen cassettes. Springsteen’s working-class anthems and affirming lyrics embolden him to find his own voice as a writer. The boy also stands up to the racism around him and challenge his father’s rigid ideals. The film's script is adapted from Manzoor’s memoir “Greetings From Bury Park.”
