Vertical Entertainment and DIRECTV have picked up the U.S. distribution rights to Salma Hayek and Alec Baldwin-starring comedy Drunk Parents from BRON Studios in a deal finalized at the Toronto Film Festival. The pic doesn’t have a release date yet but distributors are aiming for sometime in the first quarter of next year.
Directed by Fred Wolf, the film centers on the attempts of two parents to hide their ever-increasing financial difficulties from their daughter and social circle through elaborate neighborhood schemes which take their lives on a hilarious downward spiral.
Jim Gaffigan, Joe Manganiello, and Ben Platt also star.
Wolf and Peter Gaulke penned the screenplay, which was produced by Rob Barnum and Aaron L. Gilbert, with Jason Cloth, David Friendly, and Nadine de Barros serving as exec producers. The film is a co-production from BRON Studios and Fortitude International, in association with Creative Wealth Media.
The deal was negotiated by Rich Goldberg and Peter Jarowey at Vertical with Anjay Nagpal of BRON.
