Deadline:
Sony Pictures Worldwide Acquisitions has made a deal with Megan Ellison’s Annapurna Pictures for international rights on two untitled film projects that will be directed by Spike Jonze and David O Russell, respectively. As she often does with auteur fare, Ellison stepped up to fully fund both films, as she did with the Paul Thomas Anderson-directed The Master, Bennett Miller’s Foxcatcher and Kathryn Bigelow’s Zero Dark Thirty. (Amy Adams, Cinema, David O. Russell, Joaquin Phoenix, Megan Ellison, Olivia Wilde, Rooney Mara, Samantha Morton, Sony Pictures Entertainment, Spike Jonze)
