Scooped up out of Cannes by Fox Searchlight for a whooping $9.75 million, The Way, Way Back is sure to be a player come Oscar season as it was written and directed by the scribing team behind 2011’s acclaimed The Descendents: Nat Faxon and Jim Rash.
Starring Liam James (The Killing), Toni Collette (United States of Tara), Steve Carell (The Office) and Sam Rockwell (Moon), The Way, Way Back is a coming of age story about a circular kid trying to fit into a square hole who finds an unlikely friend at a water park.
