Variety reports that Allison Janney-Laura Dern comedy "Breaking News in Yuba County" has made deals in several places on the American Film Market.
Director Tate Taylor's film stars Janney and Dern as sisters.
Janney will portray a pencil pusher who catches her husband in bed with another woman, which causes him to die of a heart attack. So she buries his body and takes advantage of the growing celebrity status that comes from having a missing husband. She soon finds herself in over her head, dodging cops and criminals, all while trying to keep the truth from her sister (Dern), a local news anchor who's desperate for a story. The sales were first reported by Deadline Hollywood.
