Gravitas Ventures has acquired all U.S. rights to the comedy The Longest Week starring Jason Bateman, Olivia Wilde, Billy Crudup and Jenny Slate. As he eases into adulthood at the age of 40, Conrad Valmont, the over-educated, under-employed heir to the Valmont Hotel fortune, is cut off from his allowance following his parents’ abrupt divorce and tossed out into the unforgiving streets of the Upper West Side. Luckily, he is taken in by his old friend Dylan and returns the favor by immediately falling for Dylan’s girlfriend, Beatrice. The film marks the feature debut of writer-director Peter Glanz and is based on his short A Relationship in Four Days, which was an official selection of the Cannes and Sundance film festivals. The film will be released theatrically and on video-on-demand on Sept. 5.
