Magnolia Pictures has acquired U.S. rights to The Napa Boys.
The film was co-written by and co-stars Armen Weitzman and Nick Corirossi, who also serves as director. Weitzman also produced the film with Mike Rosenstein (The Eric Andre Show), for Sunset Rose Pictures, and Erin Owens (Another Period). Jerrod Carmichael serves as Executive Producer on the project.
The Napa Boys follows a mysterious individual known as “The Sommelier” who leads a group of friends on a strange trip through wine country. Magnolia is planning a theatrical release for early next year.
The deal was negotiated by Magnolia’s SVP Acquisitions, John Von Thaden, with CAA Media Finance on behalf of the filmmakers. The film debuted at this year’s Toronto Film Festival.
The film’s cast features including Sarah Ramos (The Bear), Mike Mitchell (Twisted Metal), Chloe Cherry (Euphoria), Vanessa Chester (The Lost World: Jurrasic Park), Paul Rust (Saturday Night), Jamar Neighbors (Keanu), Nelson Franklin (Scott Pilgrim Vs. The World), David Wain (We Hot American Summer), Ray Wise (Twin Peaks), Riki Lindhome (Knives Out), Natasha Leggero (Burning Love), Ivy Wolk (If I Had Legs I’d Kick You), and Beth Dover (Orange Is The New Black).
“From Terrence Malick’s To The Wonder and Lars Von Trier’s Nymphomaniac Park 1 & 2, Magnolia Pictures has always championed tales that delve deep into what makes us human,” Weitzman and Corirossi said in a statement. “Tales that can be shared for generations to come, like Narnia, Oz, and The Color Purple. When John Ford created Monument Valley, he was setting the stage for what eventually would become ‘Napa Valley’.”
Magnolia Pictures co-CEOs Eamonn Bowles and Dori Begley added, “We’re so happy that The Napa Boys have entrusted us to continue being stewards of this historic franchise. We couldn’t be more elated to bring the newest vintage to audiences everywhere.”
