Last week saw the 2014 Sundance Film Festival, and a slew of new films vying for people's attention. While some films may never make it in front of mass audiences, movie studios are always there to make some purchases. I've gathered up a list of some of those purchase announcements so that you can see what will be coming your way in the future!
Let's get started (these are copied from the press releases I received to better reflect the information):
* Lionsgate (NYSE: Lgf) and Roadside Attractions, and Sony Pictures Worldwide Acquisitions (Spwa) each announced today that the respective companies have acquired rights in all territories to Craig Johnson’s drama The Skeleton Twins. Lionsgate and Roadside Attractions have jointly acquired Us rights to the film, while Spwa is taking all worldwide rights outside of the Us.

I’ve only seen three movies since my last dispatch — Sundance is about finding the time to write whenever you have it and it just comes earlier today than it did yesterday — but one was a true gem. So I’ll be brief.
I adore Craig Johnson’s emotional, complex dramedy, “The Skeleton Twins”, starring Kristen Wiig, Bill Hader, Luke Wilson, and Ty Burrell. It’s a film that gets to a genuine truth about how siblings can love and hate each other in the same moment that similar films have completely failed to capture. It’s a tearjerker that also contains some of the funniest scenes you’ll see all year. It hasn’t been picked up yet but this is the kind of film that could become a massive hit when it comes down from the mountain. I actually think it will play better among the masses than the Sundance cynical.
