Circle Collective is looking to tug at your heartstrings with their new science fiction romance With Love and a Major Organ, and we’re exclusively serving up the trailer to you today.

The film screened at a myriad of festivals, including SXSW, Fantasia, Cucalorus, and it will be released theatrically by Circle Collective in NYC on March 29th and in LA on 4/5.

From director Kim Albright, With Love and a Major Organ stars Anna Maguire (Violation, The Hummingbird Project, Saving Private Ryan) as Anabel, a sensitive, empathetic young woman who lives in an alternate universe where self-care is manifested through suppressing emotion entirely. And hearts are readily [physically] removable.

“In a world where everyone’s heart is an object and there’s a strong societal pressure to dampen emotion, lonely Virtual Insurance broker Anabel always follows her heart. At odds with this overly pragmatic society, and after a series of devastating emotional blows, she rips her heart from her chest and gives it to a man she’s fallen for, the strangely unfeeling George.

“Unburdened by her unique yet cumbersome heart, Anabel finds life easier. George (Hamza Haq), on the other hand, begins to feel everything, to the shock of his overbearing mother, Mona. Anabel soon realizes she needs to get her heart back if she’s going to survive.”

Theatrical listings include…

  • NYC – March 29th (The Roxy Cinema)
  • LA – April 5th (American Cinemathèque)

Veena Sood, Donna Benedicto, and Arghavan Jenati also star.

Julia Lederer wrote the screenplay.

Jessica Rothe Keeps the Hope Alive for Third ‘Happy Death Day’ Movie

It’s now been five years since the release of sequel Happy Death Day 2U, Christopher Landon’s sequel to the Groundhog Day-style slasher movie from 2017. Both films star Jessica Rothe as final girl Tree Gelbman, and director Christopher Landon had been planning on bringing the character – and the actor – back for a third installment. So… where is it?!

We’ve been talking about a potential Happy Death Day 3 for several years now, with the ball in producer Jason Blum’s court. Happy Death Day 2U scared up $64 million at the worldwide box office, a far cry from the first film’s $125 million. But with a reported production budget of just $9 million, that first sequel was profitable for Blumhouse. So again… where is it?!

Chatting with Screen Geek this week while promoting her new action-thriller Boy Kills World, franchise star Jessica Rothe provided a hopeful update on Happy Death Day 3.

“Well, I can say Chris Landon has the whole thing figured out,” Rothe explains. “We just need to wait for Blumhouse and Universal to get their ducks in a row.

Rothe continues in her comments to Screen Geek, “But my fingers are so crossed. I think Tree [Gelbman] deserves her third and final chapter to bring that incredible character and franchise to a close or a new beginning.”

Back in 2020, Christopher Landon had revealed that the working title for the third installment was Happy Death Day to Us, said to be “different than the other two films.”

In the meantime, Christopher Landon is directing a mysterious thriller titled Drop for Blumhouse and Platinum Dunes, along with a werewolf movie titled Big Bad for Lionsgate.
