Rogue Pictures grabs Catfish

Rush Hour 3 director Brett Ratner got to push Rogue Pictures of Relativity Media enough to grab the U.K. and North American rights to Catfish, reports Variety. Ratner is serving as executive producer on the picture that’s directed by Ariel Schulman and Henry Joost. Also producing this documentary film is Marc Smerling and Andrew Jarecki.

Nev, a 24-year-old New York-based photographer, has no idea what he’s in for when Abby, an eight-year-old girl from rural Michigan, contacts him on MySpace, seeking permission to paint one of his photographs. When he receives her remarkable painting, Nev begins a friendship and correspondence with Abby’s family. But things really get interesting when he develops a cyber-romance with Abby’s attractive older sister, Megan, a musician and model. Prompted by some startling revelations about Megan, Nev and his buddies embark on a road trip in search of the truth.

No word yet on when exactly this picture is set for release, hopefully it will be sometime in the fall of this year.
