Written by: FFT Webmaster | May 16th, 2012
Sony Pictures Worldwide Acquisitions (SPWA) has acquired all U.S. rights and Canadian ancillary rights to the teen romancer and 2012 Sundance Film Festival crowd pleaser THE FIRST TIME, produced by producers Martin Shafer and Liz Glotzer (FRIENDS WITH BENEFITS). THE FIRST TIME is written and directed by Jonathan Kasdan (IN THE LAND OF WOMEN) and features an attractive up-and-coming cast that includes Dylan O’Brien, Britt Robertson, Victoria Justice, Craig Roberts, James Frenchville, LaMarcus Tucker and Maggie Elizabeth Jones. THE FIRST TIME is a high school romance that follows two teenagers over the course of one weekend. Dave, a senior about to graduate, and Aubrey, a junior from a different school, meet one night at a party. What begins as a casual conversation soon turns into something more intimate, more romantic, and more complicated than either of them is ready for. The film will be released theatrically this summer.
