‘The Way, Way Back‘, which premiered at Sundance earlier this week, has been acquired by Fox Searchlight. The film is the directorial debut of Nat Faxon and Jim Rash, the Academy Award-winning screenwriters of ‘The Descendants‘. They also served as screenwriters for this coming-of-age comedy, which centers on the summer vacation of 14-year-old Duncan and his mother, her boyfriend, and the boyfriend’s daughter.
The film stars Liam James, Toni Collette, Steve Carell, and Sam Rockwell. The project will be released this summer.
