Sci-fi pic 'The Assessment' has locked in a March release with Magnolia Pictures, which has picked up U.S. rights.
Marking the feature directorial debut of veteran music video helmer Fleur Fortuné, the film follows Mia (Olsen) and Aaryan (Patel), a successful couple who hope to become parents in a near future where resources are extremely limited and the government keeps firm control over reproduction. In a statement on the acquisition, Magnolia Pictures co-CEOs Eamonn Bowles and Dori Begley said, “Alicia Vikander, Elizabeth Olsen and Himesh Patel are all beyond fantastic in this scary, twisted, mind-blower of a movie. Written by Thomas and John Donnelly, The Assessment also stars Minnie Driver ( Good Will Hunting), Indira Varma ( Mission: Impossible – Dead Reckoning), Nicholas Pinnock ( Captain America: The First Avenger), Charlotte Ritchie ( Wonka), and Leah Harvey ( Foundation).
