Toronto: The new sony Pictures Landing Privileges To Hysteria

EXCLUSIVE: I’m told that The new sony Pictures Classics is near an offer to distribute Hysteria, the Tanya Wexler-directed romantic comedy in line with the surprising truth of methods Mortimer Granville emerged using the world’s first electro-mechanical vibrator being an advance in medical science. The film produced a–wait for this–buzz if this opened September 15 at Roy Thomson Hall. Hugh Dancy, Maggie Gyllenhaal, Jonathan Pryce, Rupert Everett and Felicity Johnson star within the film. Samuel Goldwyn Films and Millennium also chased the title. The new sony Pictures Classics partners Michael Barker and Tom Bernard have today’s opening evening film from the NY Film Festival using the premiere of Carnage, the Roman Polanski-directed feature adaptation of Yasmina Rezas Tony-winning play. Polanski shot the film in Paris, with Jodie Promote, Kate Winslet, Christoph Waltz and John C. Reilly starring. Hysteria was repped by Cassian Elwes and Elle Driver.
