Archstone Entertainment Buys International Rights to Peter Dinklage, Shirley MacLaine Comedy ‘American Dreamer’ (EXCLUSIVE)


Archstone Entertainment has nabbed international rights to the Peter Dinklage, Danny Glover and Shirley MacLaine comedy 'American Dreamer'

Archstone Entertainment has acquired international rights to “ American Dreamer,” a dark comedy starring Peter Dinklage, Shirley MacLaine, Kim Quinn, Matt Dillon and Danny Glover. The movie is based on a true story from Chicago Public Radio’s ”This American Life” and follows Dr. Phil Loder (Dinklage), a low-level adjunct professor of economics at Harvard, whose grand dream of owning a home is tragically out of reach — until an incredible, once-in-a-lifetime opportunity comes his way when a lonely, childless, near-death widow (MacLaine) offers Phil her sprawling estate for pennies. Watching Shirley and Pete work together was a master class, they’re captivating in every scene and created a timeless story that we hope will connect with audiences around the world,” said Dektor.
