Open Road has acquired all U.S. distribution rights to family film “Little Boy”from executive producers Roma Downey and Mark Burnett, the company announced on Friday.
Set in the 1940s, “Little Boy” follows a 7-year old boy who is willing to do whatever it takes to end World War II so he can bring his father home. The story reveals the love a father has for his little boy and the love a son has for his father. Seven year-old newcomer Jakob Salvati plays the little boy, while the all-star adult cast includes Emily Watson, Tom Wilkinson and Kevin James, as well as Ben Chaplin, Michael Rapaport, Cary Tagawa, Ted Levine, David Henrie and Eduardo Verastegui.
