NEW YORK, Sept. 26 (UPI) — Sony Pictures Classics says it acquired all rights in North America, the United Kingdom, Australia, New Zealand, Hungary, Romania and China to Rebecca Miller’s film Maggie’s Plan.
Written and directed by Miller — with a script based on a story by Karen Rinaldi — the comedy-drama premiered at the 2015 Toronto International Film Festival and will screen soon at the New York Film Festival.
Starring Greta Gerwig, Ethan Hawke and Julianne Moore, the movie follows a young woman “whose determination to have a child catapults her into a nervy love triangle with a heart-throb academic and his eccentric, critical-theorist wife,” a synopsis said.
The film also features Bill Hader, Maya Rudolph, Travis Fimmel, Ida Rohatyn, Wallace Shawn and Mina Sundwall.
“I’m absolutely thrilled that Sony Classics will be distributing Maggie’s Plan. They are an iconic company and the perfect home for this film,” said Miller in a statement.
“With Maggie’s Plan, writer-director Rebecca Miller has done the impossible. She has created a totally relatable world that is both fresh and new. The screenplay is surprising and precise, a warm human comedy. The performances are spectacular. It is our good fortune to be working with Rebecca, producers Rachael [Horovitz] and Damon [Cardasis] and once again with Greta, Ethan, and Julie. We are confident the public will embrace Maggie’s Plan,” added Sony Pictures Classics.
