Sony acquires female-driven Wall Street tale “Equity”January 26, 2016 - 10:49 AMT PanARMENIAN.Net - Sony Pictures Classics has acquired worldwide rights to “Equity”, a female-driven Wall Street tale starring Anna Gunn, James Purefoy, Sarah Megan Thomas and Alysia Reiner, TheWrap reports. The company made the announcement hours before the film’s world premiere at the Sundance Film Festival in Park City, Utah. “Equity” follows senior investment banker Naomi Bishop (Gunn), who thrives in the fierce world of big money dealings. When a controversial IPO threatens her fragile balance of power and confidentiality, Naomi finds herself entangled in a web of politics and deception. With an aggressive prosecutor (Reiner) from her past on her heels, and a strained relationship with her junior, Erin (Thomas), Naomi is forced to reexamine her own ambitions and the cutthroat world she loves — one where women have yet to break the glass ceiling. “Equity” is directed by Meera Menon (“Farah Goes Bang”) with a screenplay by Amy Fox.
