They've been done filming for almost 2 years...the movie is already in theaters all over Europe...and yet, we, in the US have been waiting for some sort of release information for what seems like forever...well, it's finally here, ladies:
VERY IMPORTANT UPCOMING DATES:
- May 4: Bel Ami released to Video On Demand here in the US (look for your service provider here)
- June 8: Theatrical release
This was a direct news piece from Magnolia films which is the distributor so I am tending to trust this info more so than the random dates that appear on IMDB and Fandango.
Now, not to throw a dark cloud over anything, but yes, it will be released to VOD first. Apparently the distributor has their reasons - that I think I can kind of understand...and if it means I get to see it in May and THEN in June, I'm OK with it. Also, we're not yet sure how wide of a theatrical release we're looking at - something tells me that it's going to depend on the VOD numbers...so MAKE SURE you 'rent' your copy at home to ensure a bigger release on the big screen (twss...).
I cannot freaking wait to see this movie in theaters but I can't wait to see it in general either - I've already got my couch at home reserved on the night of May 4th and some popcorn ready to go in the microwave (ok, well, I'll probably eat the popcorn and buy more before then, but you know...)
In the meantime we have this little gem to hold us over:
Oh and lest we forget...2 weeks until the trailer for Breaking Dawn, Part 2 is released (playing before The Hunger Games...so yeah, go see that...)
It is about time for fucking err I mean about fucking time! I need DuRob bad!
ReplyDeleteI will probably not be seeing the Hunger Games so I'll rely on the Internet for the BD 2 trailer.
