Roadside Attractions Takes On 'Evening'

Roadside Attractions has acquired worldwide rights to the drama "Starting Out in the Evening," starring Frank Langella, Lauren Ambrose and Lili Taylor.

Andrew Wagner's film, which premiered to positive reviews at January's Sundance Film Festival, stars Langella as a once-acclaimed New York novelist whose books are out of print. Aside from a close relationship with his daughter (Taylor), he has led a cloistered life, spending a decade working on a book, until a grad student (Ambrose) approaches him to work on her thesis.
