Bleiberg Entertainment has acquired international rights to Lee Toland Krieger’s romantic thriller The Vicious Kindand will launch the film at the Cannes market.

Adam Scott, Brittany Snow and J K Simmons star in the character driven piece said to be in the tradition of Whit Stillman, Noah Baumbach, and Neil LaBute, who serves as executive producer.

Chairman and CEO Ehud Bleiberg and Shannon Banal brokered the deal for Bleiberg. ICM packaged the film and is in talks with North American distributors.

Bleiberg recently picked up Pearblossom starring Sophie Monk and J-horror-style film Dark Mirror for its genre label Compound B. IFC will release Dark Mirror in the US in May.

Beverly Hills-based Bleiberg’s recent productions include Paul Schrader’s Adam Resurrected with Jeff Goldblum and Willem Dafoe, and Gregg Bishop’s Dance Of The Dead. The company is currently in post-production on Kirot starring Olga Kurylenko from Quantum Of Solace.

LaBute, Kreiger, and Snow are all represented by ICM. LaBute is managed by Brad Gross Management.
