On September 20, in limited release, it’s the Aaron Schimberg-directed A Different Man, starring Sebastian Stan, Renate Reinsve and Adam Pearson. The movie, which made its world premiere at the Sundance Film Festival, follows Edward, an aspiring actor who undergoes a radical procedure to drastically transform his appearance. But his new dream face quickly turns into an obsession with reclaiming what once was. Stan won the Silver Bear Award at Berlin for A Different Man.
Director John Crowley’s We Live in Time, starring Andrew Garfield and Florence Pugh, is going limited on October 11. In the decade-spanning, deeply moving romance pic, an up-and-coming chef finds her life forever changed by a chance encounter with a recent divorcée.
The horror thriller Heretic is dated to go wide on November 15. Two young missionaries become ensnared in a deadly game of cat-and-mouse after they knock on the wrong front door in this movie from writer-directors Scott Beck and Bryan Wood starring Hugh Grant, Chloe East and Sophie Thatcher. Also on the marquee that weekend is Amazon MGM Studios’ Dwayne Johnson-Chris Evans Christmas movie Red One and Sony’s Robert Zemeckis-directed Here.
On December 20, A24 will open the erotic thriller Babygirl from writer-director Halina Reijn. Nicole Kidman, Harris Dickinson, Antonio Banderas and Sophie Wilde star in this movie about a high-powered CEO who puts her life’s work on the line when she begins a torrid affair with her much-younger intern. Also opening that weekend are Disney’s Mufasa, Paramount’s Sonic the Hedgehog 3 and Angel Studios’ Homestead.
A24 will date a pair of Cannes titles in the near future: Un Certain Regard entry On Becoming a Guinea Fowl from Rungano Nyoni and Paolo Sorrentino’s Competition pic Parthenope.
