Sony gets themselves Mother and Child

Variety reports that Sony Pictures Classics is scooping up the U.S. rights to the Rodrigo Garcia film “Mother and Child”. The feature just barely premiered a couple of months ago at the Toronto International Film Festival. The drama centers around three women: A 50-year-old woman, the daughter she gave up for adoption 35 years ago, and an African American woman looking to adopt a child of her own.

The feature was produced by “The Jane Austen Book Club” Julie Lynn and Lisa Maria Falcone under Everest Entertainment. It starred several talents including Naomi Watts, Annette Benning, Kerry Washington and Samuel L. Jackson. There is no official release date set for the United States just yet but is expected to come out sometime in 2010.
