"Management" goes to Image


Image Entertainment has nabbed all U.S. rights to the romantic comedy "Management" starring Jennifer Aniston, Steve Zahn, and Woody Harrelson.  Pic will be released in spring 2009.

Written and directed by TV scribe Stephen Belber, Aniston plays a tightly wound art broker who falls for the hopelessly romantic Zahn. 

Sidney Kimmel financed and produced with Temple Hill partners Marty Bowen and Wyck Godfrey.  The film preemed at the Toronto Intl Film Festival.

"We've made a multi-million dollar commitment to bring this film to the big screen," said Image prexy David Borshell.  Samuel Goldwyn is in advanced talks to service the distribution deal.

Deal was negotiated by Image's Wendy Rutland and CAA's Dan Steinman.
