Regent Takes Weather Girl

LOS ANGELES: The international sales rights, excluding North America, for the new romantic comedy Weather Girl are being represented by Regent Worldwide Sales, joining a catalogue that includes the historical drama Little Ashes.

Tricia O’Kelley (The New Adventures of Old Christine, Gilmore Girls) and Mark Harmon (NCIS, The West Wing) star in this romantic comedy, which focuses on a TV news show weather girl who learns that her boyfriend/morning news anchor has cheated on her. The film—from Secret Identity Productions in association with T&A Pictures, Steakhaus Productions and H2R Productions—also features Jon Cryer, Ryan Devlin, Jane Lynch, Kaitlin Olson and Patrick J. Adams.

Regent acquired Weather Girl from Submarine Entertainment, and will present the film alongside further offerings for MIPTV such as Little Ashes, about the college years of Salvador Dalí and Federico García Lorca, starring Robert Pattinson (Twilight) and Javier Beltrán; Dark Skies, an action-disaster feature; Something Evil Comes, a thriller; and The Blue Tooth Virgin, an intellectual comedy.

"We were hugely pleased with the response in Park City and the interest from film distributors," said Blayne Weaver, the writer/director of Weather Girl. "We took many meetings about the future of Weather Girl but Regent’s reputation and track record along with their love for the film made it an easy choice."
