Sony Pictures Classics has taken control of the worldwide distribution for Maude Apatow's maiden directorial venture, "Poetic License." The film was initially purchased by Row K Entertainment, a company currently facing financial difficulties. The movie follows Leslie Mann as Liz, a woman who leaves her old life to start anew in a town she knows nothing about. Liz's peace is disrupted when she becomes the center of a rivalry between two best friends, Sam and Ari, played by Cooper Hoffman and Andrew Barth Feldman.
Apatow, whose father Judd Apatow serves as a producer, is joined by a team of producers which includes Josh Church, Benjamin Hung, Thalia Daniel, Maude Apatow, Olivia Rosenbloom, and Will Greenfield. The film's executives include Megan Colligan, who left the company due to unpaid debts and other issues.
"Poetic License" promises to be a blend of humor and emotion, with standout performances from Mann, Hoffman, and Feldman. Sony Pictures Classics is excited to present Apatow's directorial debut to theaters next year, hoping to share the same enchantment they felt upon watching the film. The movie is part of SPC's lineup, which already includes two Sundance-premiered dramas: Josef Kubota Wladyka's "Ha-Chan, Shake Your Booty!" and Noah Segan's "The Only Living Pickpocket in New York."
