According to The Hollywood Reporter, Saban Films has acquired the US rights to Light of My Life, which made its world premiere at this year’s Berlin Film Festival. 

Affleck directed from his own script and starred in the feature alongside Anna Pniowsky and Elisabeth Moss.

Light of My Life follows a father (Affleck) and child (Pniowsky) who journey through the outskirts of society a decade after a pandemic has wiped out half the world’s population. As a father struggles to protect his child at all costs, their bond, and the character of humanity, is tested.

”This has been a passion-driven project for the filmmakers, who have crafted a beautiful and sophisticated film, grounded with superb performances,” said Saban Films’ Bill Bromiley in a statement. We couldn’t be more honored to be part of such a dedicated team. Our audiences will fall in love with the intensity and sincerity of this character-based survival drama, focusing on a strong father-daughter bond.”

The Friend tells the story of Nicole (Johnson) and Matthew Teague (Affleck) whose life falls apart after learning Nicole has just six months to live. Things turns for the better after the couple’s best friend (Segel) decides to put his life on hold and help them go through these difficult times.

Matthew Teague wrote the award-winning article for Esquire Magazine chronicling their journey, which served as inspiration for the script written by Brad Ingelsby. He’s thrilled and honored to see his story come to life, thanks to creative vision of the director Gabriela Cowperthwaite and everyone else working on this project.

“To have the talents of Dakota Johnson, Jason Segel and Casey Affleck help the story live on is remarkable. I hope the story gives people an honest glimpse of what it means to face mortality, and the value of having a true friend at your side, when that moment comes,” said Teague.
