ThinkFilm has acquired worldwide rights to "Strangers With Candy," the feature based on the Comedy Central cult hit about 46-year-old ex-junkie high school student Jerri Blank says The Hollywood Reporter.
According to a source close to the production, no changes were made to the feature during or after its time at WIP. Warner Independent Pictures picked up the film at last year's Sundance Film Festival for some $3 million, but then first-time feature producer Worldwide Pants Inc. got it back in the fall after WIP raised questions about clearance issues.
Thinkfilm now plans to release the film in exclusive engagements in late June or early July.
