Lionsgate/Roadside has jumped at the chance to acquire distribution rights to THE REACH at a cool $2.25 million.
The film is the first deal to be made on site at the Toronto Film Festival. Jean-Baptiste Leonetti directs Michael Douglas and Jeremy Irving in this thriller set in the atmospheric Mojave Desert, America.
Based on a novel by Robb White, THE REACH follows the story of a city slicker, Madec (Douglas) and his local guide, Ben (Irving) who trek out into the desert for some hunting. However, things take a darker turn when Madec accidentally kills another man…and realises he’d better silence his young friend too. Sounds a bit DELIVERANCE doesn’t it?
More on its release when we hear it.
