Via Seattle Office of Film and Music and The Hollywood Reporter:

Seattle City Council is about to have its Hollywood moment. Samuel Goldwyn Films has acquired the U.S. rights to Stephen Gyllenhaal’s Grassroots, starring Joel David Moore as council hopeful/monorail champion Grant Cogswell and Jason Biggs as his campaign manager Phil Campbell. We enjoyed following the making of Grassroots in Seattle last summer, and look forward to its June 10 world premiere at SIFF. The film’s wide release is slated for June 22.
