Sony Pictures Classics has secured worldwide rights for Maude Apatow's 'Poetic License,' with a theatrical release slated for 2027. The film follows a mother, played by Leslie Mann, who enrolls in a college poetry class as her children prepare to leave home. She unexpectedly bonds with two male co-eds who become romantically interested in her.
The acquisition by Sony Pictures Classics follows the implosion of the distribution company Row K, which had initially acquired the film. Row K experienced significant executive departures and financial difficulties, leading WME Independent to seek new distribution partners for 'Poetic License.'
'Poetic License' also stars Nico Parker, Method Man, Martha Kelly, Maisy Stella, and Will Price. The film was produced by Judd Apatow, with Maude Apatow expressing her excitement about working with Sony Pictures Classics, an organization that influenced her cinematic perspective.
