Enigma hooks well-connected distributor

Mick Jagger’s ill-fated film venture, Enigma, has finally found an American distributor, a relieved PeopleNews can reveal. After a dispiriting few months dragging the movie around Hollywood, the Rolling Stone wiped his brow when he heard that Stephen Baldwin, the little brother of actor Alec, had agreed to buy it. The Tom Stoppard-scripted film, which stars Kate Winslet and Dougray Scott, the man who turned down the chance to be the next James Bond, was snapped up at the Cannes film festival by Baldwin and his business partner Danny Aiello. Enigma, made by Jagger's production company Jagged Films, is their first acquisition. According to an industry insider: ‘They hope that it will be a hit despite the fact that it is not really a mainstream production. It’s a risk, but they’re confident that the film will be a success.’ The film tells the story of a British Second World War code-breaker based at the famous Bletchley Park centre. Although the movie was widely admired at the Sundance Film Festival, it was turned down by a number of studios for being ‘too British’. Jagger feared that the film would never see the light of day after he dismissed a bid from Miramax boss Harvey Weinstein, only to find that no studio was willing to better it.
