UK distributor Diffusion Pictures has acquired all UK rights to Adam Yauch's Gunnin' For That #1 Spot.

The deal was struck with new sales company Oscilloscope Pictures who are handling the US and international rights.

Oscilloscope is releasing the film in the US on June 27 and Diffusion will release in the UK in October 2008.

I hope Yauch comes here to the UK for Q & A's!!

[paul jones]

it'll probably be shown at very select places in the uk.

Will buy the DVD as soon as it's released tho'

[gbsuey]

if he comes for a q&a i'm gonna go and shout "i love you dude etc" 'cause he'd probably like that-he said so!! allthough he'll probably just go to london

Yauch's film will premiere at the Raindance Festival in London between Oct 1 and Oct 12.

Running from October 1 – 12, the festival now in it's 16th year, will host a special event with Sir George Martin’s son Giles in aid of the London premiere of All Together Now, a new film charting the creation of The Beatles/Cirque du Soleil collaboration, Love.

The Arctic Monkeys new film, Arctic Monkeys at the Apollo, also gets it's London premiere, directed by The IT Crowd’s Richard Ayoade.

Patti Smith: Dream Of Life and Beastie Boy Adam Yauch (who is also on the Raindance judging panel)’s basketball documentary, Gunnin’ For That #1 Spot will also receive their UK premieres.

So if he's London Oct. 1-12 that means there's zero chance of a Beastie performance at the Oct. 6 Gimme Shelter benefit.

[timmie]

[mistressf]

the screening will be on Saturday 4 October 19:00 Cineworld

Men At Play - Dr. Jam (In The Slam)

Gonna tell you the story 'bout Dr. J
He's gonna take the sixers all the way
He leads them through the NBA
Scoring big points in every way

Chorus:
They should call him Dr. Jam!
Cause he can do it, he can do it in the Slam!

Born near the hoops in N.Y.C.
Got him a basketball when he was only three
Went all through school, then he got his degree
The man is a legend, yes siree

The M.V.P. was for awesome play
That made a league of the ABA
In every game he played first rate
Then he got his license to operate, (Operate, Operate)

The man spent the years of his internship
Flying cross-court like a rocketship
One night he caused E.T. to go"
I think I saw a UFO
The alien said he needs a name
In order to play this basketball game
Judging by the kind of teams he'd proctor
It was only befitting to call him Doctor!

Chorus:
They should call him Dr. Jam!
Cause he can do it, he can do it in the slam! Dunk Time!

Look Andrew Toney right in the eye
And down comes the Doctor out of the sky
He truly can fly, it's not artificial
And watch him zoom right by the official

Knocking on the back door, couldn't get in
Not by Magic's chiny-chin-chin
So the Lord sent Moses to help them play
He wrote the commandments and now they say
This team's for real!
Thou shalt steal!

On the court they really click
They'll even take away your first draft pick
Aims at the hoop, puts the ball thru
Got to do what he's got to do

Chorus:
They should call him Dr. Jam!
Cause he can do it, he can do it in the slam!
Watch him dribble!

Winter, Spring, Summer, Fall
There's more to the man than basketball
He's concerned about the world's condition
The cost of oil and malnutrition
About people together, about people alone
Who you gonna believe about the ozone

About the kind of world we're gonna find
When you reach the year 1999!!
Doc thinks of education around the nation
Studies legislation and de-segregation
He reads the Bible, he's a sharp dresser
And it doesn't hurt the way he plays under pressure

Chorus:
They should call him Dr. Jam!
Cause he can do it, he can do it in the slam!

This is the year you can't stand in his way
As his team parts a sea called the NBA
On a fast break they'll dribble
In the lane, down the middle

Doc has it together, the combination is odd
He's running with Moses and playing like??
The whole team's caught up in the race
As the Doc leads them at a championship pace
One thing's for certain, two things for sure
If you have playoff fever, Doctor J's got the cure

Chorus:
They should call him Dr. Jam!
Cause he can do it, he can do it in the slam!
