Variance Acquires Indie Issue With Bliss With Dexters Michael C. Hall

Variance Films has acquired U.S. theatrical rights for the Issue With Bliss, the Michael Knowles-directed film that stars Michael C. Hall, Brie Larson, Peter Fonda, Lucy Liu, Kaira William Henke, Sarah Shahi, and Chris Messina. The film will get a theatrical release on March 23, 2012, per Variance founder Dylan Marchetti. Hall plays 35-year-old Morris Bliss, who's held firmly inside the jaws of NY City inertia. He desires to travel but does not have money he takes a job but does not have prospects which he still shares an apartment along with his widowed father (Fonda), who treats Morris with a combination of disdain and exasperation. When he finds themselves juggling a bizarre relationship while using sexually precocious 18-year-old daughter (Larson) from the former classmate as well as the advances of his very forward neighbor (Liu), Morris recognizes that even though his existence is unraveling, it's also opening in manners that are extended overdue. The Issue With Bliss absolutely charmed me, mentioned Marchetti. The figures arent phony, working out learned arent clichd, and then for any chance to go to a cast similar to this interact causes it to be worthwhile for me. Knowles written the script with Douglas Light, based on Light’s novel East Fifth Bliss. The film was acquired after it carried out the Newport Beach Film Festival. It absolutely was produced by John Ramos and John Will.
