Fox Searchlight Buys Awards-Ready Martha Marcy May Marlene

Well, I got the bidding-war part right, but I'm somewhat surprised to hear Fox Searchlight was the one to grab the tiny, acclaimed rehabbing-cult-member drama Martha Marcy May Marlene off the Sundance market. The distributor closed the deal this afternoon; neither a sale price nor a release date are set, but count on fall 2011 for an Elizabeth Olsen awards push. And alternate title suggestions remain welcome! [Fox Searchlight]
