Variety<\/em> has learned exclusively. <\/p>\n\n\tThe film is written and directed by Jonathan Sobol (\u201cA Beginner\u2019s Guide to Endings,\u201d \u201cThe Baker\u201d) and stars Isabelle Fuhrman and Josh Hutcherson, with David Thewlis and Dennis Quaid also appearing. Doug Murray and Nicholas Tabarrok produced. <\/p>\n
\n\tRadial Entertainment will distribute the film in the U.S. and Canada, including theatrical, home entertainment rights, and ancillary rights for cross-platform releases. Jordan Fields of Radial Entertainment and Ryan Bury of MPX negotiated the deals for their respective companies.<\/p>\n
\n\t\u201cSome films come along just when we need them to, and \u2018Signal One\u2019 is the perfect example,\u201d said Fields, senior vice president of acquisitions at Radial Entertainment. \u201cJonathan tells an urgent and incredibly engaging story that asks questions about our place in the universe. It\u2019s essential sci-fi, both sophisticated and emotional, and the stellar cast is in top form. Provocative, thoughtful entertainment like this will resonate with a wide audience.\u201d<\/p>\n
\n\tThe official description of \u201cSignal One\u201d states: <\/p>\n
\n\t\u201cWhen tech billionaire Sam Houston hires the brilliant computer scientist Annika , she ventures to an isolated facility run by the brilliant, nihilistic creator of LITTLEMOUTH, a machine which can communicate with alien intelligence. Annika soon learns some humanity-altering facts: that we are not alone in the universe, that alien intelligences are communicating around us at every moment, and that we are likely too primitive to even remotely understand what they are trying to tell us. But when the goal of the endeavor shifts from listening to talking back, the project rapidly devolves into chaos. With contact comes consequences, and soon Annika and the team must work to ensure the very survival of our species.\u201d<\/p>\n
\n\t\u201cElevated, intelligent sci-fi like \u2018Signal One\u2019 is exactly the kind of storytelling audiences are gravitating toward,\u201d said Bury, president and co-founder of MPX. \u201cWe\u2019re proud to once again partner with Shout! Studios\/Radial Entertainment to bring the film to audiences for a strong, impactful and meaningful release.\u201d<\/p>\n
\n\t\u201cI\u2019m excited for audiences to see this thought-provoking, mind-bending \u2018real\u2019 science-fiction story being brought to screen by this incredible cast of talented actors,\u201d added Tabarrok<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
