Angel has acquired "Rode To Ruin," a western featuring Morgan Freeman and Michael Keaton, the company revealed ahead of the TIFF market. Angel also unveiled a new sales division alongside the deal.

Separately, Mental Floss ran an article in which Freeman opened up about his favorite and least favorite movies from his own career. The two developments put the longtime star back in the news cycle the same weekend.

The acquisition of "Rode To Ruin" suggests strong appetite in western genre projects, especially when they involve recognizable stars. Angel's decision to combine the purchase with the launch of a new sales division indicates the company is growing its footprint in the market.

Freeman's willingness to reflect on his own filmography, even the ones he liked least, grabbed audience attention and added another layer to an already eventful weekend for the actor.
