COLOGNE, Germany – Disney will screen Brave, the latest Pixar animated feature, at this year’s European distributors trade show CineEurope while Universal will use the event to give the continent’s cinema owners a sneak peak at Oliver Stone‘s crime drama Savages.
Savages stars Aaron Johnson and Taylor Kitsch as buddies and pot growers who face off against a Mexican drug cartel that kidnaps their common girlfriend. Universal will screen the film for CineEurope attendees on the morning of June 19, well ahead of its U.S. bow July 6.
