The Wild Eric Posted July 20, 2021 Share Posted July 20, 2021 https://deadline.com/2021/07/universal-movie-release-dates-jo-koys-easter-sunday-distant-corey-hawkins-the-last-voyage-of-the-demeter-1234796851/ Quote Distant, directed by Josh Gordon and Will Speck, will open on March 11, 2022. The sci-fi comedy stars Anthony Ramos as a low-level mining engineer whose spaceship gets struck by an asteroid sending him to an unknown alien planet. There he contends with his AI survival suit (voiced by Zachary Quinto) and aliens. He connects with a fellow crew member (Naomi Scott) via radio, but she’s trapped inside her own escape pod, and losing oxygen as well. Pic is produced by Brian Kavanaugh-Jones, Fred Berger and Anna Halberg. Speck and Gordon are also EPs with Jonathan Rothbart and Matthew Hirsch. Kevin K. Vafi is co-producer. Pic will open against Disney/Pixar’s Turning Red. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Wild Eric Posted November 3, 2021 Author Share Posted November 3, 2021 https://deadline.com/2021/11/universal-dreamworks-distant-release-date-change-1234867196/ Quote Universal is transporting DreamWorks Pictures’ sci-fi movie Distant from March 11, 2022 to Friday, Sept. 16, 2022. Distant leaves behind Disney Pixar’s Turning Red on its old date and will now face off against Lionsgate’s family movie White Bird: A Wonder Story and Sony’s untitled George Foreman biopic on its new date. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Wild Eric Posted December 5, 2022 Author Share Posted December 5, 2022 So uh...we're less than two months away and we still don't have a trailer. It's pretty clear at this rate the movie sucks, but are we getting another delay? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
filmlover Posted December 5, 2022 Share Posted December 5, 2022 This is clearly getting either delayed again or dumped. Given the directors have gone on and made/released another studio movie since finishing this (Lyle, Lyle, Crocodile), my guess is the latter. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
misterpepp Posted January 6, 2023 Share Posted January 6, 2023 This movie has been dumped, likely to a streamer. Universal's page for it no longer exists. 1 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CJohn Posted January 6, 2023 Share Posted January 6, 2023 Just imagine if Universal doesn't even bother to put it on Peacock and instead sold it to Netflix or something. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or maybe not? Dolby and Cineplex confirm a January 19, 2024 theatrical release date. I wonder if worrying about the pipeline shrinking because of the WGA strike might've caused them to change their minds, just to have something to put on the calendar. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
