EXCLUSIVE<\/strong>: Neon has landed US rights to Babes<\/em>, a comedy that was privately screened outside of the official festival roster at Toronto.<\/p>\n After its private screening, five distributors chased it before Tom Quinn’s Neon won it. Pamela Adlon, the Emmy winner behind the series Better Things<\/em>, made her feature directorial debut on the film. Scripted by Ilana Glazer and Josh Rabinowitz, the film is a smart comedy that stars Glazer, Michelle Buteau, Hasan Minhaj and John Carroll Lynch.<\/p>\n The Emmy-winning Broad City <\/em>breakout Glazer plays Eden, an aggressively single woman who becomes pregnant from a one-night stand. She leans on her married best friend and mother of two (Buteau), to guide her through gestation and beyond.<\/p>\n Acquisitions<\/span><\/p>\n Festivals<\/span><\/p>\n The US deal was made by FilmNation Entertainment, Range Media Partners and CAA Media Finance. International sales are being done by FilmNation Entertainment.<\/p>\n Pic was financed by Range Media Partners & Filmnation, and the producers are Susie Fox, Ilana Glazer, Josh Rabinowitz, Ashley Fox and Breean Pojunas.<\/p>\n Neon is positioned for a strong awards season. The company that guided Parasite <\/em>to become first foreign language film to win Best Picture, has the Michael Mann-directed Ferrari<\/em>, which premiered at Venice. That is where Neon acquired Ava Duvernay’s new film Origin<\/em>, and Neon has a New York Film Festival premiere of Anatomy of a Fall<\/em>, the murder mystery that won the Palme D’Or at Cannes. <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\nRelated Stories<\/h3>\n
