4. PRODUCTION
 Never let me go was a DNA films and Film 4 co-production.
 The benefits of co-production are:
1) Companies are able to access their partner’s market, or a third
market, essentially broadening it.
2) They also have the ability to share each other's financial
resources.
3) They have access to locations in each other’s country.

5. DISTRIBUTION
 Never let me go was distributed by Fox Searchlight Pictures, and
was given limited release into four movie theatres in the US.
 It was given full release in the UK.
 To date, it has made $9.4 million dollars in the box office, and $1.4
million dollars on DVD release.
 Due to the themes included in this film, I believe it was given
limited release in the US and full release in the UK because of the
relate ability to the different audiences.

6. CAST
 Carey Mulligan – This actress starred in An Education, another Film 4
production of a similar nature. She was probably chosen on the basis that she
had shown a prior interest in the film, and was familiar with the type of role.
 Andrew Garfield – I believe he was cast because he showed that his
attraction to the film came from its message and themes.
 Keira Knightly – This actress is famous for starring in British costume dramas
and would attract the audience on the grounds of similarity. If people know that
she has been cast in a film, they could make an intelligent guess about what it
would entail.

7. MARKETING
 The film was shown at the 54th London film festival, and the
2010 Toronto International film festival.
 It received generally positive reviews from many high profile
critics, although when compared to the book by some critics,
many felt as though it didn't live up to expectation.
