"Sugar" for Sony
Sony Pictures Classics has grabbed theatrical rights to "Sugar," Ryan Fleck and Anna Boden's baseball film that preemed at Sundance.
Fleck and Boden's sophmore effort follows their well-received "Half Nelson" which earned star Ryan Gosling an Oscar nom. "Sugar" is a biopic of Miguel "Sugar" Santos, a Dominican baseball star recruited to play in the US minor leagues.
HBO Films financed the pic and has the TV rights.
