Toronto: Sony Pictures Classics Buys ‘Still Alice’ To Launch This Oscar Season
EXCLUSIVE: Capping yet another busy day of Toronto deals, Sony Pictures Classics is closing a low seven-figure deal for Still Alice, the pic written and directed by Richard Glatzer and Wash Westmoreland. The label paid a low-seven figure price, and its plan is to release the film in Oscar season. It has gotten strong notices for Julianne Moore, who stars with Alec Baldwin, Kristen Stewart, and Kate Bosworth. She plays a cognitive psychologist who faces the early on set of Alzheimer’s Disease. This is the first deal that calls for a berth in this year’s Oscar race, though many said that the Michael Shannon-Andrew Garfield pic 99 Homes has the same kind of designs when it gets a deal. The deal was brokered by CAA. The film is playing in the Special Presentations section of the festival.
