Sony Pictures Classics has acquired the rights to “Jane Austen Wrecked My Life” ahead of its world premiere at the Toronto International Film Festival.
The studio will distribute the film in North America, Latin America, the Middle East, Eastern Europe and through global airlines.
Laura Piani wrote and directed "Jane Austen Wrecked My Life," starring Camille Rutherford ("Anatomy of a Fall"), Pablo Pauly ("Three Nights a Week"), Charlie Anson ("Downton Abbey") and Annabelle Lengronne ("Mother and Son"). The film centers on Agathe, a desperate single woman who dreams of a love similar to those found in novels like "Persuasion," "Sense and Sensibility" and "Pride and Prejudice." She dreams of becoming a writer, but instead spends her days selling books at Shakespeare & Company in Paris. After being invited to attend the Jane Austen Writers' Residency in England, she confronts her insecurities to finally fulfill her ambition to become a novelist and put an end to her wasted sentimental life.
