Richard Loncraine’s feature, starring Renee Zellweger, Kevin Bacon and Logan Lerman, will open with an exclusive release on Aug. 21 in New York and Los Angeles before expanding to the top 20 markets on Sept. 4.

The film premiered at the Berlin Film Festival, where it was awarded Special Mention by the independent jury. Zellweger was also been named best actress at the Milan International Film Festival.
“One” is a Herrick Entertainment presentation of a Raygun Prod., in association with Merv Griffin Entertainment and George Hamilton Prods. Aaron Ryder and Norton Herrick produced. Exec producers are George Hamilton, Elayne Herrick and Michael Herrick.
