Directors Jonathan Dayton and Valerie Faris, creators of the Oscar-winning Little Miss Sunshine and indie favorite Ruby Sparks, have turned their attention to a period in 1970’s America that presaged a cultural tsunami.
Fox Searchlight Pictures has set the Battle of the Sexes release date for September 22, 2017.
