Jean Pierre-Jeunet has found a new landing pad for his dreamy concoctions. His latest, Micmacs, has been acquired for U.S. and Latin American distribution by Sony Pictures Classics, according to Variety.
The whimsical-looking French comedy, from the filmmaking team behind the international hit Amelie, was expected to be released by Warner Brothers, especially since it was a co-production with Warner Bros. France. In addition, Warner Independent Pictures released Jeunet’s last film A Very Long Engagement.

Hopefully, Jeunet reuniting with Sony, the distributor of many of his earlier films including The City of Lost Children, means Micmacs will see at least a limited release in the U.S. this year. The film was written by Jeunet and Guillaume Laurant, whose Amelie proved popular on this side of the pond.
Micmacs, which Sony reportedly picked up for slightly over $1 million, »
