Anton Yelchin's Like Crazy acquired by Paramount Pictures
The studio paid $4 million for the worldwide rights to the indie romance, which stars Anton Yelchin, Felicity Jones, and Jennifer Lawrence. The story follows a young American man and a young British woman who fall for each other, until she is deported back to England after overstaying her visa.
Like Crazy played very well at its Saturday night world premiere at the Eccles Theater and a bidding war sparked soon after the screening ended. The Weinstein Company and Summit Entertainment were among the other bidders vying for the rights to Like Crazy.
Like Crazy was released October 28th, 2011 and stars Anton Yelchin, Felicity Jones, Jennifer Lawrence, Charlie Bewley, Alex Kingston, Oliver Muirhead, Finola Hughes, Chris Messina. The film is directed by Drake Doremus.

I take it it was good. It must have been for the Weinstein Bros. to vie for it. Aren't they broke?
