Tom McCarthy Dale Robinette/Disney Sony Pictures Classics has acquired all rights worldwide to an untitled new film from Academy Award winner Tom McCarthy (Spotlight). Dedicated to the late Steve Golin, the film is set to begin production at the end of February. Based on the Nathaniel Rich book Losing Earth, the film is billed as a dramatic, darkly comic, true story that asks if it’s possible for any group of people to sit together and tackle the problems of our time when we can’t agree on how to arrange the chairs.
