Morgan’s film that was previous titled The Summer of Monte Wildhorn has an official title of The Magic of Belle Isle and has been picked up by Magnolia Pictures.

Morgan Freeman stars in the drama about a novelist who has lost his inspiration.

Magnolia Pictures has acquired U.S. rights to The Magic of Belle Isle, starring Morgan Freeman, Virginia Madsen, Madeline Carroll, Kenan Thompson and Fred Willard. Rob Reiner directed the drama, which will receive a summer release in theaters and through Ultra VOD.

Guy Thomas wrote the screenplay, about a famous novelist whose alcoholism has wrecked his passion for writing and who befriends a nearby family after moving to a summer lakeside cabin. Alan Greisman, Lori McCreary, Salli Newman and David Valdes produced.
“We’re thrilled to get the chance to work with Rob Reiner on The Magic of Belle Isle,” said Magnolia president Eamonn Bowles. “It’s a real pleasure to watch this stellar cast at the top of their game.”
Magnolia execs Dori Begley and Chris Matson negotiated the deal with Cinetic Media’s John Sloss and Dana O’Keefe and Castle Rock’s Martin Shafer.
Magnolia recently released Melancholia, Page One: Inside the New York Times and I Am Love. The indie distributor picked up several films at the 2012 Sundance Film Festival, including The Queen of Versailles, 2 Days in New York, Compliance, Nobody Walks and V/H/S.
Reiner’s last film was the 2010 teen romance Flipped.

EXCLUSIVE: Morgan Freeman will bring his regal presence to Oblivion, the Joseph Kosinski-directed film for Universal Pictures that stars Tom Cruise, Andrea Riseborough and Olga Kurylenko. Cruise plays the last man on a post-apocalyptic and nearly uninhabitable Earth, who stays behind to repair ships that hunt down and blast a virulent alien species. I haven’t yet been able to figure out what role Freeman will play, but I’m told it’s a critical part.

Michael Arndt is currently rewriting a script that had earlier drafts by William Monahan and Karl Gajdusek. Peter Chernin and Dylan Clark are producing through Chernin Entertainment along with Barry Levine and Kosinski. Jesse Berger and Dave Morrison are executive producers. Freeman’s last starring role in a Universal film was Wanted, and before that he twice played God in Bruce Almighty and the spinoff Evan Almighty. He’s repped by CAA and attorney Jason Sloane.

Morgan was recently honored by the Hollywood Foreign Press with their Cecil B. DeMille Award at the annual Golden Globe Awards. Here is a video of Morgan in the press room answering questions from the press about his career over the years.

I have been a fan of Morgan Freeman for years and am excited to finally have this small tribute to this amazingly talented actor.
