A24 has secured distribution rights to gambling drama “Mississippi Grind,” the latest collaboration from directors Anna Boden and Ryan Fleck, who had previously made “Half Nelson” and “Sugar.”
The film, a look at people struggling on the edges of society, stars Ryan Reynolds as a charismatic drifter who forms a bond with a down-on-his-luck gambler played by Ben Mendelsohn. Sienna Miller co-stars as Reynolds’ former girlfriend.
The moody road picture debuted to a warm response at the 2015 Sundance Film Fest.
