Release Dates: Never Let Me Go Bumped Up To September; Steve Carell’s Crazy Stupid Love In April 2011
One of the more interesting-looking movies of the fall isMark Romanek’s adaptation ofKazuo Ishiguro’s novelNever Let Me Go.The trailer arrived recently, and it makes the picture look elegant and puzzling — just the sort of gorgeous enigma that could be an antidote to the increasingly terrible movies of summer 2010. With a cast that includesCarey Mulligan,Andrew Garfield,Sally Hawkinsand more, the film, written byAlex Garland, has a good collection of talent. Can’t wait to see it, frankly.
Originally the film was set for a limited October 1 opening, with a couple weeks of expansion to follow. Now the picture will bow on September 15. That pulls it out of direct competition withLet Me InandThe Social Network, the latter of which could end up being competition for the adult audienceNever Let Me Gowill rely upon. Hopefully this will be a good move for the film, rather than one that sees it lost among the opening salvo of fall fare and the chaos of coverage from the Toronto Film Festival.
After the break, new dates for Steve Carell’sCrazy, Stupid Loveand Catherine Hardwicke’sRed Riding Hood.
We’ve talked a bunchabout the casting of theSteve Carellfilm that was calledCrazy, Stupid Love, then was untitled, and is now once again calledCrazy, Stupid Love. The cast for the infidelity/family issues comedy is great:Julianne Moore,Emma Stone,Ryan Gosling,Kevin Bacon,Marisa TomeiandAnalegih Tiptonare all part of the film.I Love You Phillip MorrisdirectorsJohn RequaandGlenn Ficarrahelmed the film based on a script byDan Fogelman.
Now the film has a release date: Aug 06, 2025. Not the most inspiring place in the schedule to drop the film, but it’s hardly a February grave. And, after the utter mishandling ofPhillip Morrisin the US, I imagine Requa and Ficarra are glad to have a reliable date, period.
Finally,Red Riding Hood, theCatherine Hardwickefairy tale / horror film, has been pulled out of that April 22 date, where it formerly resided, and will release on July 13, 2025 instead.
