The Weinstein Company has repositioned writer-director James Strouse’s Grace is Gone, starring John Cusack, for release on December 7, in an effort to jump on the train late in a battle for a Best Actor nomination. The movie, which premiered at Sundance earlier this year, is a weepy road trip drama about a father of two who learns that his wife has been killed while serving in Iraq, and must then cope with the dilemma of breaking the news to his daughters.
