Marion’s latest film, Rust and Bones has been picked up by Sony Pictures Classic.

Sony Pictures Classics has acquired North American, Latin American and Eastern European rights to Jacques Audiard’s romance-suspenser “Rust & Bone,” which recently wrapped production.

“Rust” stars Marion Cotillard and Matthias Schoenarts and is produced by Pascal Caucheteux. The film was co-written by Audiard and Thomas Bidegain — who teamed on 2009′s “A Prophet” — and adapted from the book of short stories by Craig Davidson.

Pic was budgeted at $22 million, making it one of the biggest films coming out of France last year. Celine Sallette (“House of Tolerance”) and Bouli Lanners (“Nothing to Declare”) co-star.

“A Prophet” took the Cannes Festival’s Special Jury Prize in 2009. Hengameh Panahi’s Celluloid Dreams, which sold and co-produced “A Prophet,” sold “Rust & Bone” to Sony Classics.

Caucheteux’s credits include Audiard’s “The Beat That My Heart Skipped” and “A Prophet,” as well as “Of Gods and Men” and “Assault on Precinct 13.”

UGC is distribbing in France. In pre-sales, “Rust” has been licensed to Studiocanal for the U.K,, Bim Distribuzione for Italy and Lumiere for the Benelux territories.

The 64th annual DGA Awards, hosted by Kelsey Grammer, will be held Jan. 28 at the Grand Ballroom at Hollywood & Highland.

The DGA prides itself on the fact its feature film award is one of the best predictors of the Oscar for best director. Since the award was created in 1948, there have been only six occassions when its winner did not go on to take home the Academy Award for best director.

The nominees are:

WOODY ALLEN

Midnight in Paris

(Sony Pictures Classics)

Mr. Allen’s Directorial Team:

· Unit Production Managers: Matthieu Rubin, Helen Robin

· First Assistant Director: Gil Kenny

· Second Assistant Director: Delphine Bertrand

This is Mr. Allen’s fifth DGA Feature Film Award nomination. He won the DGA Award for Outstanding Directorial Achievement in Feature Film for Annie Hall (1977), and was previously nominated in that category for Manhattan (1979), Hannah and Her Sisters (1986) and Crimes and Misdemeanors (1989). Mr. Allen was honored with the DGA Lifetime Achievement Award in 1996.
