Toronto: Magnolia Acquires U.S. Rights To ‘The Right Kind Of Wrong’
Magnolia Pictures acquired US rights to The Right Kind Of Wrong, a romantic comedy starring Ryan Kwanten (True Blood), Sara Canning (The Vampire Diaries), Catherine O’Hara (Best In Show) and Will Sasso (The Three Stooges), directed by Jeremiah Chechik (National Lampoon’s Christmas Vacation, Benny & Joon). Magnolia acquired the film in advance of its world premiere as a Gala Presentation at the Toronto International Film Festival next Thursday evening at Roy Thomson Hall. Pic will be released early next year.
The Right Kind Of Wrong is about Leo Palamino (played by Kwanten) a failed-writer-turned-dishwasher made famous for his many flaws and shortcomings in a blog called “Why You Suck,” a huge Internet success written by his ex-wife. Then Leo meets Colette (played by Sara Canning), the girl of his dreams… on the day she is marrying the perfect man. And so, the ultimate underdog story begins as Leo, a fearless dreamer, risks all to show Colette and the whole wide world all that is right with a man famous for being wrong. Pic is produced by Robert Lantos and Megan Martin adapted the screenplay from Tim Sandlin’s novel Sex and Sunsets. Also producing is Ari Lantos and Mark Musselman is exec producer. Cinetic Media’s John Sloss made the deal.
