\n\tSony Pictures Classics has snapped up Andy Garcia\u2018s Diamond<\/em>, taking worldwide rights to the actor-director\u2019s long-gestating Los Angeles noir following its buzzy Cannes Film Festival premiere. The deal covers all territories except France, Germany,\u00a0Italy and CIS.<\/p>\n

\n\tWritten, directed, produced by and starring Garcia, Diamond<\/em> transports a 1940s-style gumshoe into present-day Los Angeles. Garcia plays Joe Diamond, a private detective who dresses in vintage three-piece suits, narrates his days in hardboiled voiceover and carries a traumatic past. He\u2019s an urban legend with a knack for cracking cases the LAPD can\u2019t. When a wealthy widow (Vicky Krieps) hires him to prove she didn\u2019t kill her husband, Diamond works the case in the shadow of a rival police detective (Brendan Fraser).\u00a0<\/p>\n

\n\tGarcia has said the film is just as a much a love letter to classic L.A. noirs as it seems. In its announcement, Sony Pictures Classics compared the film to the great Philip Marlowe mysteries of the past.<\/p>\n

\n\tThe film premiered out of competition on the Croisette in May \u2014 Garcia\u2019s first return to Cannes since Ocean\u2019s Thirteen<\/em> in 2007 \u2014 drawing warm reviews. THR\u2019s critic summed it up as \u201ca nostalgic crime flick with heart.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cI\u2019ve been working on this story for close to 20 years. This is not unusual for personal films in the independent world. Stories take time to unfold. They haunt you, as you continue to work on them,\u201d Garcia said in a statement, adding: \u201cWhen they are ready, in their own time, the movie gods open the window of opportunity.\u00a0Perhaps we\u00a0exhaust them with our persistence and that great obstacle is overcome by the dream.\u00a0So\u00a0they give up and bless you with this extraordinary cast to tell your story. Dreams sometimes\u00a0do come\u00a0true.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tKrieps and Fraser lead a packed ensemble of famous faces. Two-time Oscar winner Dustin Hoffman, Oscar nominee Bill Murray, Rosemarie DeWitt, Demi\u00e1n Bichir, Danny Huston, LaTanya Richardson Jackson, Yul Vazquez, Robert Patrick and Rachel Ticotin round out the cast.<\/p>\n

\n\tGarcia also oversaw the film\u2019s music, co-writing the score with jazz trumpet legend Arturo Sandoval \u2014 the longtime friend and collaborator Garcia memorably portrayed in the 2000 HBO biopic For Love or Country<\/em>. Both are Grammy winners.<\/p>\n

\n\tA production of Garcia\u2019s CineSon banner, Diamond<\/em> was produced by Garcia, Jai Stefan for Shrink Media, Frank Mancuso Jr. for FGM Entertainment and Paul Soriano for Black Cap Pictures\/TEN17P, with Black Cap and Nexis Entertainment financing. Sony Pictures Classics negotiated the deal with CAA Media Finance on behalf of the filmmakers, with The Veterans overseeing international rights. A release date has yet to be set.<\/p>\n
