Exclusive: Vertical Entertainment has acquired U.S. rights to Lorelei, the drama from writer-director Sabrina Doyle that bowed at the 2020 Tribeca Film Festival. Jena Malone and Pablo Schreiber star in the pic, which is now being eyed for a day-and-date release this summer in theaters and VOD.
Visit Films is repping rights and is now presenting the film to buyers at the virtual European Film Market.
The pic is a working-class fable about Wayland (Schreiber), who returns to his blue-collar hometown after being in prison for 15 years for armed robbery. He inadvertently reconnects with his high school girlfriend Dolores (Malone), now a single mother struggling to support her three kids. Wayland eventually moves in with the chaotic family and becomes a reluctant yet much-needed father figure, and struggling to pay the bills he finds himself drawn back to his old ways as Dolores yearns for her pre-motherhood dream of living in Los Angeles.

The Florida Project producers and Freestyle Picture Company partners Kevin Chinoy and Francesca Silvestri are producing the pic with Moonlight and Flordia Project producer Jennifer Radzikowski and Arnold Zimmerman.

Today, the Directors Guild of America (or DGA) announced their nominees, further shaping the Oscar race. They come hot on the heels of yesterday featuring the American Society of Cinematographers (or Asc) announcing, as well as the Makeup Artists & Hair Stylists Guild. Earlier today, before DGA, the Costume Designers Guild announced too. They’ll all be seen, but the DGA is the one to focus on. They’re the precursor of this lot that’s truly going to shape the race.
