chemistry. It’s going to have a huge
audience and we’re thrilled to be the ones able to bring it to them,” said
Shapiro and Rock, the acquisitions executives for Echo Bridge.
Echo Bridge clearly saw what we
did in the film and we’re so pleased we partnered with the right company to
release the film,” continued Little.
Directed by Edoardo Ponti and starring Rhys Darby, Sasha Alexander, and Fionnula
Flanagan, COMING & GOING
is an irreverent romantic comedy that poses the question: How far
would you go to capture the heart of the one you love? Lee is a young, skilled
OBGYN who lacks confidence when it comes to talking to women outside his
successful medical practice. A freak injury temporarily lands him in a
wheelchair and it is at that precise time that he meets his dream girl.
Convinced she's only paid attention to him because he's in that chair, he stays
in it to win her affections well after his injury has healed. Coming &
Going is about love and the extreme things people do for it.
Star Sasha Alexander
is also the lead in the hit series Rizzoli
currently shooting its second
season. It was the highest rated cable
premiere on TNT in 2010 and broadcasts in USA, Canada, Sweden, Norway, Hungry,
Australia, France, South Africa, Singapore, Netherlands, Brazil, Italy, Turkey,
Belgium, Poland, Saudi Arabia and Croatia.
