Update: The article said Wayfare Entertainment was on board to finance. It is not clear if that means they are providing the financing or they will be looking for others to finance the film. Passengers was first announced at Cannes back in May of 2010. At the time the film was licensed to Morgan Creek with Muccino directing and Universal handling domestic distribution. At this point it is not clear if Universal will still be handling the domestic distribution but it sounds like they will be looking for distributors at Cannes 2013.
