Ariel Veneziano of GreeneStreet Films International has closed a slew of sales in Venice on John August's feature directorial debut The Nines.

'Coming in to Venice we expected a strong response to the film and we haven't been disappointed,' Veneziano said. 'We couldn't be more pleased with the sales this film is generating.
The film, which played in Critics Week at the Venice Film Festival, stars Ryan Reynolds as a troubled film star, a video game designer and a television show runner whose lives intertwine mysteriously. Hope Davis and Elle Fanning also star.
