Jake Gyllenhaal, Carey Mulligan Drama ‘Wildlife’ Sells to IFC Films

by Beatrice Verhoeven @ TheWrapTheWrap

Mon Feb 12 09:03:03 PST 2018

Paul Dano’s directorial debut “Wildlife” has been acquired by IFC Films for its U.S. and Canadian rights, the distributor announced Monday.

The Sundance premiere stars Jake Gyllenhaal, Carey Mulligan, Bill Camp and Ed Oxenbould. Gyllenhaal also produced.

“Wildlife” was adapted for the screen by Dano and Zoe Kazan from Richard Ford’s acclaimed novel. The film was produced by Alex Saks of June Pictures, Dano, Oren Moverman of Sight Unseen Pictures, Ann Ruark and Nine Stories’ Gyllenhaal and Riva Marker, with Zoe Kazan, Ted Deiker and Eddie Vaisman serving as executive producers.

Also Read: 'Wildlife' Review: Paul Dano's Directorial Debut Is an Austere Portrait of a Family in Crisis

IFC Films is planning a fall theatrical release and a 2018 awards campaign for the film that had its premiere at the 2018 Sundance Film Festival last month. The movie tells the story of a boy who watches his parents’ marriage crumble after his mother falls in love with another man.

“For as long as I have wanted to make films, I have known I would make films about family,” said Dano in a statement. “To have brought together a creative family in the making of ‘Wildlife’ has been one of the great joys of my life. And now to extend that family further and collaborate with IFC, whose voice as a distributor has been vital to so many filmmakers I love all over the world, is an honor.”

Also Read: Claire Danes, Jim Parsons Drama 'A Kid Like Jake' Acquired by IFC Films

Jonathan Sehring and Lisa Schwartz, co-presidents of IFC Films, added, “We have long admired Paul Dano’s remarkable career as an actor, having had the privilege of working with him on ‘The Ballad of Jack and Rose.’ We are thrilled to present his directorial debut as it is so deft and self assured.  It is almost unfathomable to think that this is his first film behind the camera as the result is nothing short of remarkable. From the amazing performances he was able to capture from Carey Mulligan, Ed Oxenbould, Bill Camp, and Jake Gyllenhaal to Paul and Zoe’s moving and nuanced screenplay, ‘Wildlife’ is a stunning debut film that will leave an indelible effect on audiences.”

The deal was handled by Arianna Bocco, executive vice president of acquisitions and production, for IFC Films with Endeavor Content on behalf of the filmmakers. Film Nation is handling international sales for the film.

by Thom Geier @ TheWrapTheWrap

Mon Feb 12 12:50:49 PST 2018

Bette Midler and Sharon Stone will star in a film version of Charles Busch’s Broadway comedy “The Tale of the Allergist’s Wife,” producers announced Monday.

Andy Fickman (“Parental Guidance,” “Game Plan”) will direct the adaptation of the odd-couple comedy, which premiered on Broadway in 2000 in a production starring Linda Lavin and Michele Lee.

Midler will play Marjorie Taub, an upper-middle-class, Upper-West-Sider in the midst of a volcanic later-life crisis. Her loving husband, acclaimed allergist to the homeless, Dr. Ira Taub, tries in vain to help. But everything changes with the arrival in New York of Marjorie’s fascinating and mysterious childhood friend, Lee (Stone).

Lee has led the glamorous, globe-trotting life that Marjorie dreamed of. As Lee becomes the Taubs’ permanent houseguest, Marjorie’s depression magically lifts. But Lee has a secret agenda that leads to a wild and unexpected turn.

Robert Cort (“Runaway Bride,” “Mr. Holland’s Opus”) and veteran Broadway producer Daryl Roth (“Kinky Boots”) will produce, with Jeffrey Melnick as executive producer.
