Screen Media Films has acquired US theatrical rights for the romantic cannibal horror film The Bad Batch and aims to release it in the first quarter of 2017, according to Deadline. The deal was made before the film makes its world premiere at TIFF. Netflix closed the options on SVOD rights earlier this month.
The Bad Batch is a savage dystopian cannibal fairy tale set in a Texas wasteland where society’s rejects are just trying to make ends “meat”.
Directed by Ana Lily Amirpour (A Girl Walks Home Alone at Night), the cast includes Suki Waterhouse, Jason Momoa, Giovanni Ribisi, Yolonda Ross, Jayda Fink, Cory Roberts, Louie Lopez, Keanu Reeves, and Jim Carrey.
