ThinkFilm finds Hunt's 'Found Me'

September 08, 2007 The first big sale of the Toronto fest went to ThinkFilm and Canadian distributor TVA Films Saturday morning. The companies picked up U.S. and Canadian rights, respectively, to Helen Hunt's directorial debut "Then She Found Me" starring Hunt, Colin Firth, Bette Midler, and Matthew Broderick, in a $2.5 to $3 million combo deal. Meanwhile, several of the bigger specialty divisions were circling Tom McCarthy's drama "The Visitor" since it's screening broke before midnight last night, but both buyers and the filmmakers were waiting for reaction to Saturday morning's screening before closing a deal, given the film's low-key style and lack of marquee names.
