www.indiewire.com/2017/05/the-orchard-kings-lionsgate-dragged-across-concrete-oscilloscope-bobbi-jene-1201828832/ IFC Films has acquired the U.S. rights to Trudie Styler’s directorial debut, “Freak Show.” Based on the critically acclaimed novel of the same name by James St.James, the film stars Alex Lawther, Abigail Breslin, Bette Midler, AnnaSophia Robb, Ian Nelson and Laverne Cox. The film is set for release in early 2018. “Freak Show” tells the story of Billy Bloom, a fabulous, funny, cross-dressing teenager and new student at the ultra-conservative Eisenhower High, where the Bible Belles and Football Heroes have never seen anyone like him. Despite peer pressure and the worst that the bullies can dish out, Billy is determined not to change his outlandish outfits or behavior, taking a stand for outcasts and underdogs everywhere and running for homecoming queen.
