EXCLUSIVE:\u00a0<\/strong>Magnolia Pictures<\/a>\u00a0has acquired worldwide rights to the\u00a0Tom Blyth<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0Russell Tovey<\/a>\u00a0thriller\u00a0Plainclothes<\/a>\u00a0<\/em>from filmmaker\u00a0Carmen Emmi<\/a>.<\/p>\n Emmi\u2019s directorial debut is set in 1990s Syracuse and follows a promising undercover officer (Blyth) who is assigned to lure and arrest gay men. He defies orders when he falls in love with a target (Tovey). The movie\u00a0won<\/a>\u00a0the U.S. Dramatic Special Jury Award for Ensemble Cast when it world premiered at the\u00a0Sundance<\/a>\u00a0Film Festival, and also stars Maria Dizzia, Christian Cooke, Gabe Fazio, and Amy Forsyth.

Amid the backdrop of the suffocating party, the search for the letter unlocks memories of a past he\u2019s tried to forget: months earlier, while working undercover in a mall bathroom, Lucas arrested men by seducing them. But when he encounters Andrew, everything changes.\u00a0What begins as another setup becomes something far more electric and intimate. As their secret connection deepens and police pressure to deliver arrests intensifies, Lucas finds himself torn between duty and desire. With time running out and his past closing in, the movie builds toward a New Year\u2019s Eve reckoning where everything he\u2019s buried threatens to erupt.<\/p>\n \u201cPlainclothes\u00a0<\/em>is a true revelation,\u201d said Magnolia Pictures co-CEOs Eamonn Bowles and Dori Begley. \u201cTom Blyth is a knockout and director Carmen Emmi is a major new talent behind the camera.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cI\u2019m so grateful to Magnolia for believing in our project and for always championing independent movies,\u201d said Emmi. \u201cPlainclothes\u00a0<\/em>was made with a lot of love in my hometown, Syracuse, NY. It\u2019s an honor to be able to share it in theaters this fall.\u201d<\/p>\n The movie is presented by Lorton Entertainment & Page1 Entertainment, produced by Colby Cote, Arthur Landon, Eric Podwall and Vanessa Pantley.<\/p>\n The deal was negotiated by Magnolia SVP Acquisitions John Von Thaden with WME Independent on behalf of the filmmakers.<\/p>\n View this article at Deadline<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" EXCLUSIVE:\u00a0Magnolia Pictures\u00a0has acquired worldwide rights to the\u00a0Tom Blyth\u00a0and\u00a0Russell Tovey\u00a0thriller\u00a0Plainclothes\u00a0from filmmaker\u00a0Carmen Emmi.
