Sony Pictures has acquired worldwide rights to the upcoming Colin Farrell and Margot Robbie-starring romantic fantasy A Big Bold Beautiful Journey, which is due to begin filming this Spring in California.
US entertainment trade publication Deadline, which first reported the news, says the deal is "in the $50 million range" and was agreed at the European Film Market that runs during the Berlin International Film Festival.
A Big Bold Beautiful Journey reunites Farrell with After Yang director Kogonada and is written by The Menu's Seth Reiss.
It is described as "an imaginative tale of two strangers and the unbelievable journey that connects them".
Tom Rothman, Chairman and CEO of Sony Pictures' Motion Picture Group, told Deadline: "Every once in a great while in this job you read a script so special and original that you fly to the last page, inspired and uplifted.
"A Big Bold Beautiful Journey, by Seth Reiss, is such a script and together with the superb director Kogonada, the perfect cast of Colin and Margot, and top-flight producers Bradley Thomas, Dan Friedkin, and Ryan Friedkin, it is a project from heaven.
"We believe the audience is desperate for originality and we feel honoured and grateful to all involved to have won out for it."
