Paramount Pictures has acquired worldwide distribution rights to the latest collaboration from “Juno” filmmakers Jason Reitman and Diablo Cody’s, the black comedy “Young Adult.”

The Mandate Pictures production stars Charlize Theron, Patrick Wilson, Elizabeth Reaser and Patton Oswalt in the story of a divorced, young-adult fiction writer who returns to her hometown in Minnesota to chase an ex-boyfriend who’s now married and has a baby. The project, which Cody wrote and Reitman will direct, begins shooting in New York this month.

Paramount released Reitman’s last film, “Up in the Air,” which grossed $161 million worldwide.
