## Summary

Sony Pictures Classics has acquired worldwide rights to “Diamond”, Andy Garcia’s noir crime drama, after its Cannes Film Festival debut. The agreement gives the independently produced film a major distributor, though a release date has not yet been announced, and concludes a project Garcia says took nearly 20 years to develop.

Garcia wrote, directed and stars as Joe Diamond, a man with a traumatic past whose exceptional observational skills help solve crimes beyond the LAPD’s reach. The cast includes Vicky Krieps, Brendan Fraser, Rosemarie DeWitt, Bill Murray, Dustin Hoffman, Demián Bichir and LaTanya Richardson Jackson; Garcia also composed the original score with Arturo Sandoval. Sony’s deal excludes France, Germany, Italy and the CIS, while CineSon and several partner companies produced and financed the film.
