Continuing the trend that every movie I miss at a film festival is immediately bought, the latest to get picked up late in the fest is Bernie Goldmann and Melisa Wallack's Bill starring Aaron Eckhart and Jessica Alba, according to The Hollywood Reporter. I skipped this to see Death Defying Acts and haven't heard too many good things about it, but obviously, the buyers at First Look Studios must have liked what they saw, because they shelled out $3 million for the commercial comedy about a disillusioned man who mentors a young boy (Logan Lerman) after finding that his wife (Elizabeth Banks) is cheating on him.

It's also been reported that THINKFilm picked up Stuart Townshend's Battle in Seattle (which I also missed) for $2 million and The Weinstein Company paid the same amount for George Romero's Diary of the Dead, which I did see, and which you can read my mostly negative review here.
