Sony & Apparition want the Rileys

The Jake Scott directed film Welcome to the Rileys finally landed itself a domestic distribution deal as Apparition and Sony Pictures Worldwide Acquisitions Group teamed up to scoop up the feature, says Variety. The film will be released sometime this fall with the help of Apparition. Welcome to the Rileys stars James Gandolfini as a damaged man, while making a business trip to New Orleans, who ends up seeking salvation by caring for a wayward young woman (Kristen Stewart). The feature also stars Melissa Leo from the script penned by Ken Hixon.

The picture is backed by Scott Free Productions, which includes Tony and Ridley Scott producing, with Argonaut Pictures. This is Scott’s latest feature length directed film, prying him away from his music video credits, next to his 1999 picture Plunkett & Macleane.
