Magnolia Reveals Tentative ‘Red’ Theatrical Dates!
We learned today that Magnolia Pictures has released some tentative dates for their Jack Ketchum adaptation, Red (review), which follows a couple of kids who kill a dog named ‘Red’, the trusty hound of an old gent. The owner finds out who they are, and tries to bring them to justice by informing the authorities. However, this amounts to nothing, so he decides to dish out his own brand of retribution. The film is slated for release in NY on August 8, in LA on August 15 or August 22 and will be released nationally after that. Watch this spot for final dates when they come in, along with poster art and trailers.
