The Wild Eric Posted August 27, 2019 Share Posted August 27, 2019 https://deadline.com/2019/08/todd-haynes-dark-waters-will-start-to-bubble-in-late-fall-1202704619/ Quote EXCLUSIVE: Focus Features is adding Participant Media’s Todd Haynes feature Dark Waters to the late-fall fray with a limited release on November, the Friday before Thanksgiving. The pic, inspired by a true story, follows a tenacious attorney (Mark Ruffalo) who uncovers a dark secret that connects a growing number of unexplained deaths to one of the world’s largest corporations. In the process, he risks everything – his future, his family and his own life – to expose the truth. Oscar winners Anne Hathaway and Tim Robbins star with Bill Camp, Victor Garber, Mare Winningham, William Jackson Harper and Bill Pullman. Ruffalo, Pamela Koffler, and Christine Vachon produce with a screenplay by Mario Correa and Matthew Michael Carnahan. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jake Gittes Posted August 27, 2019 Share Posted August 27, 2019 Whaaaaaaaa. New Haynes? In three months? Is it skipping festivals because it's still being worked on or...? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neucentro Posted August 27, 2019 Share Posted August 27, 2019 I'm interested. But why no marketing? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SLAM! Posted August 27, 2019 Share Posted August 27, 2019 Dark Waters is such a better title than Dry Run, it's not even funny... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

filmlover Posted September 18, 2019 Share Posted September 18, 2019 (edited) Definitely recalls Erin Brockovich. I wonder if Focus suddenly decided to put this out this year instead of next since Harriet (which is currently sitting on the Rotten side) isn't gonna cut it.

I'm surprised they didn't send it to any Festivals - unless they really were banking on Harriet to be the one this year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With how last-minute the film was when it comes to announcing its release date, it was probably too late for it to send to any festivals (although it maybe could sneak in during AFI), and Focus didn't want to go in empty-handed 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoolioD1 Posted September 18, 2019 Share Posted September 18, 2019 i hope there's more to it but the anne hathaway bits in the trailer seem like a parody of "wife roles" in oscar bait biopics. wouldn't expect to see that in a todd haynes movie of all people.

JB33 Posted November 26, 2019 Share Posted November 26, 2019 Debuted this weekend with $102,606 in 4 theatres for a $25,652 PTA. Is it just me or is that a pretty disappointing PTA for a Thanksgiving platform release? How do you guys see this doing when it goes wide?
