Vertical Entertainment and DirecTV have acquired the North American rights to “Human Capital,” which stars Liev Schreiber and Marisa Tomei, an individual with knowledge of the deal told TheWrap.
The drama premiered at this year’s Toronto International Film Festival last month. DirecTV will have the exclusive on pre-release Svod, while Vertical will distribute the film in theaters in the second quarter of 2020.
Marc Meyers’ film is an adaptation of both a 2004 novel by Stephen Amidon as well as the 2013 Italian film based on the book and directed by Paolo Virzi.

This is from "Corky" Hal Kessler of Levin Ginsberg: Federal tax incentives under Section 181 allow a taxpayer who invests in a qualifying film or TV project to have a 100% loss when the money is spent.
