The hit Broadway tuner landed domestic distribbing via Universal Pictures on Monday (Daily Variety, Jan. 6), with U studio confirming that it was aiming for a late 2005 release, lensing early next year.
U and Sony have partnered on several recent pics, including last year's actioner "The Rundown" and on 2000 drama "Erin Brockovich." In both cases, U handled domestic and Sony took the foreign distribbing. Terms of the imminent "Producers" international distribbing deal were not disclosed.
Pic is being produced by Brooks, co-written by Brooks and Thomas Meehan, and will be directed by the Broadway show's helmer and choreographer, Susan Stroman.
