Tom Hanks comedy A Man Called Otto is full-steam ahead with filming set to begin next month on location in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, we can reveal.

STX International has boarded international sales rights to the hot project ahead of the virtual EFM and CAA Media Finance will rep domestic alongside Lichter Grossman Nichols Adler Feldman & Clark. We hear interest is already growing among potential suitors for the project, which will be among the bigger budgeted movies on sale during the market.

Joining Oscar winner Hanks in the comedy adaptation of the Scandinavian hit A Man Called Ove are Mariana Treviño (Overboard), Rachel Keller (Legion) and Manuel Garcia-Rulfo (6 Underground). [Source]
