The studio has acquired US rights to Mike Flanagan’s genre film from Intrepid Pictures and MICA Entertainment, with whom it is collaborating on the upcoming Oculus.

Kate Bosworth and Thomas Jane star in Somnia and Relativity plans a wide release to be announced in further detail shortly.

Sierra/Affinity took over international sales on the title from the now defunct Focus Features International.

Flanagan (pictured) directs Somnia from a screenplay he co-wrote with Jeff Howard about an orphaned child whose dreams and nightmares take physical shape as he sleeps.

Demarest Films and MICA Entertainment are financing. Intrepid Pictures’ Trevor Macy and Demarest’s Sam Englebardt and William D Johnson serve as producers. Mali Elfman and D Scott Lumpkin serve as executive producers.

Oculus is scheduled to open nationwide on April 11.

Paradigm represented US rights in the deal.
