Sony Pictures Classics Acquires ‘West of Memphis’

Published

on

Sony Pictures Classics has acquired worldwide rights to Amy Berg’s docu about the West Memphis Three, West of Memphis,” which was produced by Peter Jackson and Fran Walsh, as well as first-time producers Damien Echols and Lorri Davis, says Variety.

The pic, which debuted at Sundance, “chronicles the new investigation surrounding the West Memphis Three, which ultimately broke the case open and led to the freedom of three innocent men: Echols, Jason Baldwin and Jessie Misskelley Jr.

Berg’s film examines the flawed police investigation into the 1993 murders of three young boys in West Memphis, Arkansas, and reveals details of Echols’ fight to save his life while sitting on death row for 18 years.

New ‘Arcadian’ Images and Poster Introduces Tense, Bloody Thrills in Nicolas Cage Creature Feature

Arcadian images Nicolas cage

Up next for Nicolas Cage is a creature feature from RLJE Films that’s titled Arcadian. RLJE debuted a bunch of new images along with a poster this morning that introduces more of the cast while teasing some of the bloody thrills ahead.

Look for Arcadian in theaters on April 12, 2024. After the film’s theatrical release, it’s coming to Shudder and AMC+ later this year.

Arcadian has been rated “R” by the MPA for “Bloody images.” Check out some of those bloody images below.

In Arcadian, which looks to take a page out of the Quiet Place playbook, “After a catastrophic event depopulates the world, a father and his two sons must survive their dystopian environment while being threatened by mysterious creatures that emerge at night.”

Jaeden Martell (IT 2017), Maxwell Jenkins (Lost in Space) and Sadie Soverall (Fate: The Winx Saga) also star in the upcoming Arcadian alongside cinema icon Nicolas Cage.

Ben Brewer (The Trust) directed the film, written by Mike Nilon (Braven).

I reviewed Arcadian for Bloody Disgusting out of SXSW. I wrote, “Playing like a cross between a poignant coming-of-age story and intense survival horror, Arcadian does just enough to set itself apart from similar fare. However, its ultimate appeal and magic lie in the inventive monster designs and the thrilling action set pieces they inspire.”
