Dates for a wide-release on May 12th after a surprise work-in-progress screening at SXSW.

 

Rodriguez has been wanting to make this film for over two decades. The film was delayed by the pandemic and spent two years in post-production lingo after its initial distributor Solstice Studio imploded during its production.

 

The synopsis:

 

“Affleck stars as a detective who finds himself spiraling down a rabbit hole while investigating a series of reality-bending crimes mysteriously connected to his missing daughter. Aided by a gifted psychic, he is pursued by a lethal specter who he believes holds the key to finding his daughter.”

 

[Box Office Hit]

Looks like a sillier The Accountant lol.

Looks like a blast, Rodriguez is the definition of hit or miss but I always root for him. Hyped to see William Fichtner in a movie again!

A $70m movie that's being released in theaters needs a longer marketing push than 40 days. This is gonna bomb like crazy and probably also sucks

Trailer is fantastic. I think this could be a sleeper hit.

Rated R, but only for violence. I think they should've tried to get this a PG-13 rating instead.
