Shanghai-based Linmon Pictures has acquired Steven Soderbergh's top-secret directorial project 'Logan Lucky' for distribution in China. Channing Tatum, Michael Shannon and Adam Driver are set to star in the film, which will mark Soderbergh's return to feature filmmaking. The deal was part of a trio of sales made by FilmNation to Linmon. The Chinese company also has acquired Michael Grandage's 'Genius', starring Colin Firth, Jude Law and Nicole Kidman, and forthcoming sci-fi 'Redivider', starring Dan Stevens and directed by Tim Smit. China release dates for the three films will be determined by the country's state regulators.
