The Weinstein Company announced today that it has acquired the U.S. rights to
the John Wells debut feature film "The Company Men".
Mr. Wells, an acclaimed writer, directs Ben Affleck, Tommy Lee Jones, Kevin
Costner and Chris Cooper in a film about the lives of lifers who have suddenly
been laid off from work. The director also wrote the screenplay.
"The Company Men" received its premiere at this year's
Sundance Film Festival. In a statement Mr.
Wells said in part, "I am particularly proud of the film's honest and moving
performances. We're thrilled Harvey and his extraordinarily talented team
will help bring those performances to life."
"The Company Men" is produced by Claire Rudnick Polstein, Paula Weinstein and
Mr. Wells.
Harvey Weinstein, co-chairman of The
Weinstein Company, said in part: "John has put together a tremendous cast to
tell this timely story and I look forward to bringing it to audiences."
No release date has been set for "The Company Men", although the film will open
this year.
