Indomina Group and BET Networks have acquired the dramatic thriller Luv, which will receive a North America theatrical release from Indomina, tentatively set for Fall 2012, followed by a broadcast premiere on BET.

The film, which debuted at Sundance, is directed by Sheldon Candis and written by Candis and Justin Wilson. Theater veterans Dennis Haysbert, Danny Glover, Charles S. Dutton, Lonette McKee, and Michael Kenneth Williams star alongside Common, Michael Rainey Jr., and Meagan Good.

Luv follows 11-year-old Woody Watson, a timid Baltimore orphan who dreams of a better life — and awaits the return of his absent mother. Woody also reveres his uncle Vincent as the father figure he never had. A street hustler and former drug dealer, Vincent’s fresh off an eight-year stint in prison and wants a new direction.
