Newmarket Films has acquired U.S. rights to Alejandro Amenabar's "Agora" and will release the Rome-set historical epic during the first half of next year.
It's the first acquisition for Newmarket -- best known for handling "The Passion of the Christ" -- since the company was bought earlier this month by Exclusive Media Group.
