Neon is giving audiences a chance to see creature feature Hope early with an exclusive early-access premium format screening event next month.
The latest from writer-director Na Hong-jin (The Wailing) is set to release in theaters on September 9, but on Monday, September 7, the film will screen at 175 PLF (Premium Large Format) locations across the country in six premium formats, including Dolby, 4DX, ScreenX, Barco HDR, D-BOX and Dolby Atmos, with participating theaters in New York, Los Angeles, Chicago, San Francisco, Dallas and more.
Tickets for the Hope Early Access Event are on sale now. Purchase tickets HERE.
While Neon is building upon its early-access PLF strategy for Osgood Perkins’ The Monkey, Hope feels designed for the biggest screen possible.
Hope follows “police outpost chief Bum-seok (Hwang Jung-min) and officer Sung-ae (Hoyeon) as they investigate a series of violent attacks believed to be the work of a mysterious creature lurking in the nearby forest. As local hunters join the search, the line between predator and prey begins to blur, revealing a story that challenges assumptions about fear, humanity, and the unknown.”
Zo In-sung (“Moving”), Taylor Russell (Bones and All), Cameron Britton (“The Umbrella Academy”), Alicia Vikander (Ex Machina), and Michael Fassbender (Prometheus) also star in Hope.
Hope had its World Premiere at the Cannes Film Festival back in May. The festival’s director, Thierry Fremaux, previously teased that Hope “constantly changes genres” to capture a story of “no part of history that’s ever been told before.”
