Sony’s Stage 6 Films Acquires Worldwide Rights To Vera Farmiga-Christopher Plummer Road Trip Pic ‘Boundaries’

EXCLUSIVE: Vera Farmiga and Christopher Plummer will star in road trip pic Boundaries, with Sony Pictures Worldwide Acquisitions’ Stage 6 Films acquiring worldwide rights. Also in the cast is Lewis MacDougall, Bobby Cannavale and Kristen Schaal along with Peter Fonda, Christopher Lloyd and Dolly Wells. Shana Feste (Endless Love) writes and directs. Boundaries, currently shooting in Vancouver, is being produced by Brian Kavanaugh-Jones’ Automatik and Chris Ferguson’s Oddfellows. Exec producers are Automatik’s Bailey Conway Anglewicz and Jennifer Besser.

The story follows single mother Laura (Farmiga) who, along with her awkward 14-year-old son Henry (MacDougall), is forced to drive her estranged, care-free, pot-dealing father Jack (Plummer) across country after he’s kicked out of yet another nursing home. The road trip veers off course when Jack decides to make a couple of stops and Henry asks to see his deadbeat dad Leonard (Cannavale).
