Time of Death Lands Global Sales Deals

Time of Death hit Cannes with real momentum as Radiant International locked in new overseas deals and pushed the thriller further onto the global market.

Reports indicate the film has sold in Benelux to Premiere TV, in Portugal to NosLusomundo, and in Poland to Media4Fun. Radiant also has additional agreements in the works in Germany, Italy, and Spain while continuing sales efforts at the Cannes Marché. That gives the project a stronger international footprint at a moment when buyers still look for recognizable casts and clean genre hooks.

The film now carries two advantages distributors want: fresh market activity overseas and a firm U.S. release window.

The cast gives the thriller much of that commercial shape. Michael Kelly, Kevin Pollak, Mena Suvari, and Dennis Haysbert bring familiar names to a package designed to travel, especially in a market where suspense titles often perform well across platforms and territories. Sources suggest that combination has helped keep the film active in multiple negotiations even as competition for attention intensifies in Cannes.

The immediate significance sits beyond one title. Cannes remains a proving ground where independent films either build traction or fade into the market noise, and Time of Death appears to be doing the former. A defined domestic release from Vertical gives international buyers a clearer frame for rollout, marketing, and audience positioning, which can make late-stage negotiations easier to close.

What happens next will show how far that momentum carries. If the pending European deals firm up and the June U.S. launch lands cleanly, Time of Death could emerge as one of those mid-budget thrillers that finds value through disciplined distribution rather than hype. In a crowded film market, that still matters—and for sellers, buyers, and audiences, it remains one of the clearest paths to success.
