RIO DE JANEIRO -- Sony Pictures Classics has picked up Latin American rights to Stephan Elliott's "Easy Virtue," the 1920s-set romantic comedy with dynamite disco tracks.
Pic, loosely based on the play by Noel Coward about a British aristocrat who falls for an American divorcee, much to the chagrin of his family, has won praise from critics and marks a comeback for Elliott, who was forced to put his career on hold for almost a decade after suffering a near-fatal ski accident in France.
Pic stars Ben Barnes, Jessica Biel, Kristin Scott Thomas and Colin Firth.
