The film will land a healthy seven figures. As part of the pact, there will be a wide theatrical release for the film. Fox Searchlight was also in the running for the picture, but it looks like IFC is now positioned to snag the film. The picture stars Jack Black as a former high school reject obsessed with landing the most popular member of the class (James Marsden) for their upcoming reunion. His attempts to land Marsden result in an unexpected one-night stand. The film marks Jarrad Paul and Andrew Mogel’s directing debut. WME and UTA are negotiating sales for the film.
