McCanick, the film that features the final performance of the late Glee star Cory Monteith, has been picked up by a distributor at the Toronto International Film Festival. It should be hitting theaters sometime next year.
According to Entertainment Weekly, the film was picked up by Well Go USA, which picked up all U.S. distribution rights. The company is looking to release it theatrically in early 2014.
McCanick was a late addition to the festival line-up and co-stars David Morse, Ciaran Hinds and Mike Vogel. Morse plays the title role, a cop who traces Simon Weeks (Monteith), a young drug addict who was just released from prison. The Guardian critic Paul MacInnes noted that the film is filled with twists and praised Monteith’s performance. “...Just when you think you've got this movie down, in fact when you're a... fair distance beyond that point and are trying not to look too often at your watch, it leaps in a different direction,” MacInnes wrote.
Monteith died in July of a drug overdose. He was 31-years-old and the Glee cast will pay tribute to him during the show’s third episode this season.
