Reliance Big Entertainment, Brad Pitt to distribute The Imperfectionists

MUMBAI: As part of a creative partnership, Reliance Big Entertainment, the entertainment arm of Indian conglomerate Reliance Anil Dhirubhai Ambani Group (ADAG), and Brad Pitt‘s production company Plan B Entertainment have acquired the distribution rights of Tom Rachman‘s novel adaptation The Imperfectionists. 

The film centers on the quirky, maddening, endearing people who write and read an international newspaper based in Rome: from the obituary reporter who will do anything to avoid work, to the young freelancer who is manipulated by an egocentric war correspondent, to the dog-obsessed publisher who seems less interested in his struggling newspaper than in his magnificent basset hound.

Commenting on the acquisition, Reliance Big Entertainment chairman Amit Khanna said, ‘”The Imperfectionists is a compliment to our slate with Plan B Entertainment. It will make a commercial and extremely relevant film which will play well to an international audience.”

Reliance Big Entertainment first introduced its development/ production financing deal termed as Creative Partnership with Plan B Entertainment at the Cannes Film Festival 2008.
