Quiver Distribution has acquired the North American rights to 'Virginia Woolf’s Night & Day' and plans a theatrical release this fall. The film is a period drama set in early 20th century London, starring Haley Bennett, Lily Allen, and Jack Whitehall.

Facts First

  • Quiver Distribution has acquired North American rights to the film 'Virginia Woolf’s Night & Day'
  • A theatrical release is planned for the fall
  • The film is based on an early Virginia Woolf novel and set in early 20th century London

What Happened

Quiver Distribution has acquired the North American rights to the film 'Virginia Woolf’s Night & Day', with plans to release the film theatrically in the fall. The deal was negotiated by Larry Greenberg and TJ Smith for Quiver, and by WME Independent and WestEnd Films for the filmmakers.

Why this Matters to You

If you enjoy period dramas or literary adaptations, you may have a new film to look forward to in theaters later this year. The film's focus on the era of crumbling Edwardian patriarchal attitudes and the Suffragette movement could offer a historical perspective on social change.

What's Next

Quiver Distribution will now prepare for the film's fall theatrical release. The film's reception may influence Quiver's future acquisitions, as the distributor has recently announced rights to several other films including 'A Prayer for the Dying', 'The Birthday Party', and 'The Last Temptation of Becky'.

Perspectives
