Good Neighbours Moves in with Magnolia Pictures

Writer/director Jacob Tierney's thriller Good Neighbours has been picked up by Magnolia Pictures for US distribution. Good Neighbours, which had its world premiere in September at the Toronto Film Festival, stars Jay Baruchel, Scott Speedman, and Emily Hampshire.

From the Toronto Film Festival description: "Louise (Emily Hampshire), a waitress in an always empty Chinese restaurant, has a rather unhealthy attachment to her cats. Her relationships with her apartment mates aren't much better. Her only friend, Spencer (Scott Speedman), is a caustic widower with a supercilious smirk who's confined to a wheelchair. Meanwhile, newly arrived Victor (Jay Baruchel) is an overly friendly elementary school teacher who's desperate for human contact. Victor's painfully obvious interest in Louise upsets the routine that Louise and Spencer have developed - as does a string of unsolved homicides in the area, a subject that Louise takes an unseemly interest in."

Good Neighbours also features Micheline Lanctot, Anne Marie Cadieux, Gary Farmer and Xavier Dolan.
