“Train Dreams,” a drama starring Joel Edgerton and Felicity Jones, has been acquired by Netflix out of Sundance. Our own review called it a “patient, profound and painful experience” and compared it to the work of Terrence Malick.
The movie, about a logger who is working on the railroad, was co-written and directed by Clint Bentley. Greg Kwedar co-wrote the screenplay with Bentley and the two co-wrote the Oscar-nominated “Sing Sing.” Kerry Condon, William H. Macy and Clifton Collins Jr. also star.
Black Bear and Kamala Films produced the film with Marissa McMahon, Teddy Schwarzman, Will Janowitz, Ashley Schlaifer and Michael Heimler.
