Noah Baumbach's 'While We're Young' A Hit With Distributors

Noah Baumbach’s newest film While We’re Young will be screened in theaters all around the world following a very well-received reception at TIFF.

While We’re Young stars Ben Stiller and Naomi Watts as a married couple who struggle with the idea that their big moments in life are behind them, and their lackluster life gets a boost when they become intertwined with a younger couple, played by Adam Driver and Amanda Seyfried. Driver plays Jamie, a young, hipster documentarian, while Stiller’s Josh is a washed up documentary filmmaker, and the film plays on a conflict between the generations..

The film premiered in Toronto to rave reviews, and was quickly bought for US distribution by A24. A24 reportedly paid around $4 million for the rights, giving While We’re Young one of the highest price tags at TIFF.

“We are enormous fans of Noah’s and were completely won over by While We’re Young. Noah delivered a multi-generational comedy that is smart, extremely funny, and incredibly insightful, and which audiences across the country will embrace,” said A24 in a statement.

While A24’s bid guarantees US distribution, While We’re Yong also struck deals with distributors all around the world, including companies in the U.K, France, Germany, Italy, Spain, Australia, Japan, Latin America, South Korea and Hong Kong.
