In an unusual move, Fox Searchlight Pictures and Warner Brothers Pictures Group are coming together to release the next movie from Danny Boyle, director of "Trainspotting" and "28 Days Later." "Slumdog Millionaire" was originally a Warner Independent Pictures release, but last May, Warner Brothers closed its two independent divisions, Picture House and Warner Independent, in an effort to cut costs. Now the company will work with Fox Searchlight Pictures to distribute Mr. Boyle's film in North America. In a statement from Fox Searchlight, Jeff Robinov, president of Warner Brothers Pictures Group, said Warner was working with Fox Searchlight to release the film because of the studio's crowded calendar. "With the recent additions to our slate, it became impossible for us to release 'Slumdog Millionaire' in this calendar year," Mr. Robinov said. "Danny very much wanted to get it released this year," said Peter Rice, president of Fox Searchlight, "and we have a long relationship with him." The movie is based on the novel "Q&A," about an 18-year old orphan from the slums of Mumbai. "Slumdog Millionaire" is scheduled to be released on Nov. 28 and will have its premiere at the Toronto International Film Festival next month.
