Atlas Distribution Company picks up "Absolutely Anything" for U.S. Distribution
Los Angeles, California, May 3, 2017 (Newswire.com) - Atlas Distribution Company announced today the acquisition of Absolutely Anything, a GFM Film, starring Simon Pegg and Kate Beckinsale, for exclusive U.S. theatrical distribution.
Absolutely Anything centers on a disillusioned school teacher, Neil, who suddenly finds he has the ability to do anything he wishes — a power bestowed upon him by a distant alien race. Unbeknownst to Neil, how he employs his newfound powers will dictate the fate of mankind — one wrong move and the aliens will destroy Earth.
"The talent in the film is exceptional, and we're certain many Robin Williams fans are anxious to see his final performance."
Harmon Kaslow, Atlas Distribution President
