Focus Features grabs The Kids

The Sundance Film Festival comedy The Kids Are All Right got picked up for distribution by Focus Features. The company picked up the rights for it to be shown off in several countries, becoming not much of a surprise for many who reportedly watched the feature and gobbled it up immediately. With features like A Serious Man, Taking Woodstock, Sin Nombre and Milk under their distribution belt, it’s no surprise that they would end up grabbing onto this comedy that appears quite marketable.

In the film directed by Lisa Cholodenko, three-time Academy Award nominee Annette Bening and four-time Academy Award nominee Julianne Moore star as the lesbian parents of two teenaged children conceived by artificial insemination decide to seek out their birth father and introduce him into the family life that their two mothers have built. Upheavel ensues after he is found as family ties are defined, re-defined, and then re-re-defined (Indie Wire).

Also included in the cast is Mia Wasikowska, Mark Ruffalo, Josh Hutcherson and loads more. No exact date has been set for the film to be released in theaters within this year. Focus Features is distributing several films this year which include Greenberg, Babies and The American.

I've been in love with film ever since I was a kid. The time, effort and passion that runs through a majority most film is something that's always attracted me to this field. What ended up happening with my big appetite for all things going on in the industry turned from random blurbs on Facebook to an unexpected but fun job. College student by day, movie news writer by early morning...or any time in the day and night when more news arrives. Working towards my bachelor's degree in film, what a surprise. I do other things too, like draw, write stories, maintain a social life and feed my pet dragon Lockheed. If you want to know more about me, hunt me down and just ask.
