[[THE FAMILY TREE]] Myriad Acquires Comedy Starring Christina Hendricks & Bow Wow

Myriad has acquired international rights to "The Family Tree," a comedy that stars Hope Davis, Dermot Mulroney, Selma Blair, Max Thieriot, Bow Wow, Rachael Leigh Cook, Jane Seymour and "Mad Men" actress Christina Hendricks, the company announced on Thursday.

Davis stars as a restless housewife who hits her head during an illicit sexual encounter with her next-door neighbor and winds up losing her memory. She can't remember her husband (Mulroney) or her two teenage kids. While her amnesia provides the spark that her marriage has been missing, it allows the kids to run amok.

The project marks the feature directorial debut of Vivi Friedman, a Finnish-born filmmaker best known for her work in commercials, whose first short film, "Certainly Not a Fairytale," was made in conjunction with Fox Searchlight's prestigious Searchlab.

This time around, Friedman will be working from a script by Mark Lisson, who will also produce the project with Allan Jones, Kathy Weiss and J. Todd Harris ("The Kids Are Alright").

Myriad will start screening and selling "The Family Tree" at the American Film Market this week. IP Advisors continue to represent the picture's North American rights.

Personal Trivia

During high school she went by the name Blair because she hated her first name. She is still not comfortable with her age at the name of 36. She says, "I've always thought of it as an old woman's name, so I demanded that everyone call me Blair. In high school, when people found out my name was Selma, they'd call me things like Smell-ma or Salmonella. That stuff basically came from friends, and I never really had any enemies, so I just kind of smiled through it. "I still don't like my name. It does not fall prettily off the tongue. In fact, it's hideous. My middle name is James, and I like to be called that."
She has been romantically linked to Jason Schwartzman of Rushmore Fame.
In her sparetime, Selma collects black-and-white photography. She also enjoys horseback riding, and loves snow jumping.
Blair's intention for her future was to become a photographer. She had some macabre ideas as to what would make a good shot. She explains, "I didn't have many models I was comfortable asking to pose for me, so I did a lot of self-portraits. "I didn't want them to look as if they were of me, so I made myself up like (artist) Magritte's mother, who drowned herself and was supposedly found with her nightdress wrapped around her head. "I took a bunch of self-portraits in that state and some very macabre, victim-y ones, in which I'd torn off my clothes, found a ditch at the side of the road and jumped in."
Selma has a reputation for becoming every publicist's nightmare by talking about anything and everything during an interview.
