While one might think a new movie from the director behind "Cinema Paradiso" and "Malèna" might garner more attention, or at least some kind of film-festival appearance, "The Correspondence," the latest from Giuseppe Tornatore, has already quietly been released in a handful of overseas territories. It’s continuing to roll out, and a new international trailer for it has landed.
Jeremy Irons and Olga Kurylenko star in the movie, which boasts a pretty high-wire premise. The story follows a university student/stuntwoman who is reeling from the death of her stunt double, and finds solace in the arms of her astrophysics lecturer. Well, it’s definitely original, and not only that, the movie has a score from Ennio Morricone.
There’s no U.S. distributor yet for "The Correspondence," so no word on when it will land stateside. For now, check out the trailer below, which features a cover of Depeche Mode‘s "Enjoy The Silence" by Sue Ellen.
This is really weird. This and other titles have already opened in México several months ago.
Last night I read Solace (Anthony Hopkins, Colin Farrell) is yet to premiere in the US, when it left Mexican theaters in early January 2016.
Same case with Correspondence (July 2016 for Mexico).
Then big tentpole movies are getting released a week or two in advance: Inferno and Doctor Strange opened a week before than in the US.
This seldom ever happened before. What’s going on now?
(not complaining, just surprised)
