Sony Pictures Classics acquires majority worldwide rights to “Diamond,” a noir crime drama directed by and starring Andy Garcia. The film, which Garcia also wrote and produced, premieres at this year’s Cannes Film Festival, with an initial world premiere reported in May. Across coverage, “Diamond” is described as a contemporary Los Angeles Noir centered on Joe Diamond, a man who appears out of time and carries a traumatic past. The character’s abilities are presented as unusual powers of observation that help him piece together information and ultimately solve crimes for the Los Angeles Police Department. Sony Pictures Classics’ acquisition places the film into distribution with rights spanning major global markets, with the deal characterized as covering worldwide rights or majority global rights depending on the report. Both outlets frame the project as a Garcia-led, author-driven crime story that blends mystery with a noir atmosphere and contemporary LA settings, following its festival debut.
