Inferno Entertainment is close to selling out its marquee survival title The Grey from Joe Carnahan and has reported a roaring trade on Lisa Cholodenko’s Sundance hit The Kids Are All Right (pictured).
The Grey, which will star Bradley Cooper as a plane crash survivor stranded with his co-workers in Alaska, has sold to Entertainment in the UK, Metropolitan in France, Universum/RTL in Germany, Icon in Australia and New Zealand, and Swen in Latin America.
