MUMBAI: Sony Pictures Classics has acquired the US rights of David Cronenberg’s A Dangerous Method from UK-based Hanway Films.
 
“David Cronenberg and Jeremy Thomas have made a film that not only has an impeccable cast and crew working at the height of their talents but also tells one of the most fascinating love triangles of the twentieth century. The American public will enthusiastically embrace this picture. We are delighted to be in business again with Jeremy and David,” stated Sony Pictures Classics in a statement.
 
Seduced by the challenge of an impossible case, Dr. Jung (Michael Fassbender) takes the unbalanced yet beautiful Sabina Spielrein (Keira Knightley) as his patient. Jung’s weapon is the method of his master, the renowned Sigmund Freud. Both men fall under Sabina’s spell.
 
The film has been produced by Jeremy Thomas, who made films like The Last Emperor, and Sexy Beast, stars Viggo Mortenson, Keira Knightley, Michael Fassbender, and Vincent Cassel.
 
Earlier, Sony Pictures Classics had released Cronenberg’s Spider as well as several films produced by Thomas like Brother, Don’t Come Knocking and Young Adam.
