The film, as you know, was revealed to be a Sony Classics acquisition earlier in the week. It’s a slow day (being the weekend and all), so I figured I’d toss these quotes from the just-landed press release officially announcing the pick-up (the bold is mine):
With THE LAST STATION, Michael Hoffman has crafted a film that is not only beautifully made but showcases some of the world’s greatest actors in roles of a lifetime. The film is also incredibly entertaining and moving and we look forward to working with our friends Jens Meurer, Chris Curling and Robbie Little to bring it to audiences.
–Generically attributed to “Sony Classics.”
After spending four years of my life making THE LAST STATION, it’s such a relief and a pleasure to be working with talented people you can trust. I love the guys at Sony Pictures Classics. It’s a perfect home for our film.
–Director Michael Hoffman
