UTA brokered the sale of the Sidney Kimmel-produced pic, which preemed in competition in Cannes.
The effects-heavy film stars Philip Seymour Hoffman as a theater director in upstate New York who finds himself the centerpiece of a vintage Kaufman fantasy. Catherine Keener and Samantha Morton also star.
Kaufman wrote and directed. Anthony Bregman was also a producer.
An October release is planned. Sony Classics co-toppers Michael Barker and Tom Bernard said in a statement that they had avidly pursued the film since Kaufman described it to them over dinner two years ago.
