Arguably this year’s most parochial British film – and that’s saying summat - The Damned United is getting a US release. As you probably know, it’s the tale of legendary (and for once the term is deservedly applied) football manager Brian Clough, but in true Brit style it was apparently filmed on a budget of thruppence ha'penny (in old money).
Anyway, it's screening in New York and Los Angeles on 25 September. There's even a trailer for the US market:

Obviously NY/LA are crammed with Brits, but one presumes that Americans will be looking at the trailer and scratching their heads in bewilderment. “There would BE no Derby County without me!” bellows Clough (played by Michael Sheen) at one point.
Like, whatever, dude.
