Vertical Acquires Psychological Thriller ‘Sharp Corner’ Starring Ben Foster & Cobie Smulders


Ben Foster thriller 'Sharp Corner' has landed at Vertical for release in the U.S. next spring.

EXCLUSIVE: Vertical has acquired U.S. rights to Sharp Corner, an indie psychological thriller, starring Ben Foster( Hell or High Water) and Cobie Smulders( How I Met Your Mother), which scored positive reviews out of the Rome Film Festival and TIFF, where the deal was completed. Sharp Corner follows Josh McCall (Foster), a hapless family man, and his wife Rachel (Smulders) as they escape the city for an idyllic country house — the perfect setting to raise their six-year-old son, Max (William Kosovic). “Following the enthusiastic response at TIFF,” stated producer Paul Barkin, “we are thrilled to partner with Vertical to bring Jason Buxton’s tense and relatable, morality tale to a wide audience across the U.S.”
