variety.com/2014/film/news/paramount-wins-bid-battle-for-story-of-your-life-1201180581/Paramount Pictures has picked up North American rights to “Story of Your Life,” the Denis Villenueve-directed, Amy Adams-starring sci-fi film. The studio reportedly paid $20 million for the pic after a bid battle that narrowed from five studios down to just two. Further discussions could give Par rights in China as well. Villeneuve (“Prisoners,” “Incendies”) is directing an adaptation of a prize-winning Ted Chiang short story. The movie is being written by Eric Heisserer. Adams will play a linguist in the military who attempts to hold a dialogue with aliens invaders. Rights are repped by FilmNation internationally and by talent agency WME in North America.
