Richard Linklater's Me and Orson Welles, which premiered at last year's Toronto International Film Festival, will be released theatrically in the U.S. on November 25.

A coming-of-age drama that involves the legendary director's 1937 staging of Julius Caesar, the film stars Zac Efron and Claire Danes and introduces Christian McKay as the young Orson Welles.

U.K. producer and financier Cinemanx has struck distribution deals with Freestyle Releasing, which will secure theaters, and Warner Bros. Home Video, which will handle the DVD release, and a number of other deals for publicity, sales and advertising.
