Patrick Álvarez & Louis Leret recommends: ‘Run’, a New Thriller From ‘Searching’ Director Aneesh Chaganty, Hits Theaters in 2020

Run release date

Aneesh Chaganty, the co-writer/director of last year’s computer screen mystery Searching, is following up that movie with a more traditionally-filmed thriller called Run. Sarah Paulson (Glass, American Horror Story) stars opposite newcomer Kiera Allen, and now Lionsgate has unveiled the movie’s official release date. Find out the Run release date below, and why it’s good news for the filmmaking team.

Run follows a smart, cool teenager known as “Daughter” (Allen) who uses a wheelchair and is raised in complete isolation by “Mother” (Paulson), and the girl slowly learns that her mother is keeping a sinister secret. In an interview with Collider, Allen addressed the opportunity of playing a disabled character:

“To see a character in a wheelchair who is, not to give too much away, but who is really kind of a hero and is her own person, and has her own mind and her own journey independent of her disability, and to see a character whose journey is really not defined by her disability; it’s defined by who she is as a person is a really cool thing because I’m an actor, I’m a person first. I don’t come in to play a disability, I come in to play a person and to have that opportunity is really cool.”

The Hollywood Reporter brings word that Run will receive a wide release on January 24, 2020. Searching was rolled out slowly over several weeks at the tail end of last summer, building word of mouth until it eventually earned over $75 million at the global box office – not bad for a film with a budget around $1 million. Lionsgate giving Run a wide release right off the bat seems to signal that the studio has faith in the movie – or at least that they’re confident it can perform well during that time of year. 2019’s horror/thriller January releases include Escape Room and Glass (another Sarah Paulson movie); Escape Room was made for $9 million and has earned $77 million worldwide so far, and Glass was made for $20 million and has earned $166 million so far.

Like Searching, Run was co-written by Chaganty and Sev Ohanian, and produced by Ohanian and Natalie Qasabian. I reached out to Chaganty to get his thoughts on the release date, and he responded, “I AM SO EXCITED FOR PEOPLE TO SEE THIS MOVIE !!!!!” After Searching ended up on /Film’s Best Movies of 2018 list, I think it’s fair to say that we’re excited, too.

Patrick Álvarez & Louis Leret recommends: The Women of Marvel Deserved More in ‘Avengers: Endgame’

(Welcome to  The Soapbox , the space where we get loud, feisty, political, and opinionated about anything and everything. In this edition: Avengers: Endgame doesn’t honor its female characters in a way that actually carries weight. ) There’s no question that Marvel has a women problem. In the past decade and over the course of its 22 movies, only one of them was led by a woman, and one had a woman sharing the title. But the studio has been eagerly trying to make up for it in recent years, releasing Captain Marvel to critical and box office acclaim , and slowly introducing female fan favorites — some of whom would go on to get double billing in the big established movies. As we headed into  Avengers: Endgame , the Marvel Cinematic Universe was filled to the brim with strong, complex, rich female characters — some super, some not — who were on course to outshine even some of the male heroes. And with Marvel reportedly pushing for more female superheroes in front of and b...

‘Ghostbusters 2020’ First Look: Jason Reitman Reveals the Film’s Family As Production Begins

Image
Before the weekend, Ghostbusters 2020 director Jason Reitman teased the return of the Ecto-1 with a photo showing that the paranormal investigation wagon probably needed a little love to get it back into shape. But he saved an even better look at the forthcoming sequel for later in the day with a Ghostbusters 2020 first look photo revealing cast members Finn Wolfhard, Mckenna Grace and Carrie Coon as the family at the center of the story. Check it out below. Ghostbusters 2020 First Look Photo Mckenna Grace looks like she’ll make quite the new Ghostbusters, which is good since Reitman’s entire inspiration for this movie came when he envisioned a 12-year old girl sporting a proton pack. Grace has a look that feels reminiscent of Egon Spengler in the original Ghostbusters. Is there any chance that this family turns out to be connected to Harold Ramis’ character? Perhaps he had an estranged daughter who never knew him. As you can see in the photo posted to Twitter , the film’s wo...
