Electric Entertainment has acquired domestic distribution rights for director Rob Reiner’s LBJ. The upcoming biopic stars Woody Harrelson in the role of the  36th President alongside Jennifer Jason Leigh, Richard Jenkins, Bill Pullman, Jeffrey Donovan and Michael Stahl-David. Reiner directed the film from a script by Joey Hartstone and also produced it with Matthew George, Liz Glotzer, Trevor White and Tim White.

“This is exactly the kind of film that Electric’s domestic division was created for, and we couldn’t be more excited to work with Rob Reiner and Woody Harrelson as we bring this engrossing and timely picture to North American audiences,” said Electric CEO Dean Devlin.

“Rob Reiner is one of the great American directors; together with Woody Harrelson’s mesmerizing performance, they have created an incredible portrait of the 36th President. We are very excited to be working with Dean Devlin, Zac Reeder and the team at Electric,” said Matthew George.

LBJ premieres at the Toronto International Film Festival.  Plans are to have the film in theaters this year.
