According to The Hollywood Reporter, Lionsgate has picked up North American, British, Australian and South African rights to the indie serial-killer thriller TENDERNESS, which we first told you about here. Directed by John (HIDE AND SEEK) Polson from a script by Emil Stern, based on the book by Robert Cormier, TENDERNESS stars Russell Crowe as a cop tracking a youthful serial killer (STAY ALIVE’s Jon Foster) who has just been released from prison, with Sophie Taub as a runaway girl who develops a potentially fatal attraction to the murderer. Laura Dern and Alexis (INVASION) Dziena also star; the movie was produced by GreeneStreet Films, which was also behind Polson’s SWIMFAN.
