Robert Redford has two Oscar Awards, three Oscar nominations, six Golden Globe Awards and four Golden Globe nominations. Redford also won two awards at the 2012 Venice Film Festival for “The Company You Keep.” LaBeouf, a promising young actor who won a Daytime Emmy Award for his performance in the popular Disney Channel series “Even Stevens,” also stars in the film. He is also well known for his leading role in the first three installments of the popular “Transformers” series.

“As FAB develops the Cross-Platform Video Operation business, the acquisition of exclusive rights to U.S. films like this, starring acclaimed and popular actors, gives the company a competitive advantage. Not only does it expand our copyrighted content library but positions FAB as the exclusive rights holder in China for this film which strengthens our Cooperative Channel relationships,” said Chris Spencer, CEO of FAB Universal. “FAB will continue to expand the copyrighted content library by acquiring additional high-quality and award-winning US movies for release into the Chinese Mainland.”
