Finally, some news rather than endless speculation! The first promotional stills for David Twohy’s upcoming Hawaiian honeymoon thriller A Perfect Getaway, in which Milla Jovovich stars as honeymooner Cydney opposite Timothy Olyphant, Kiele Sanchez and Steve Zahn, have been revealed by director Twohy over at his WordPress blog — and, to our great pleasure, one of them features a beautiful Milla as Cydney! Check out the medium-res promotional still at our gallery, courtesy of David Twohy; hopefully, more will surface online soon. I don’t know about you, but with the recent lack of news on the project, this was exactly what I needed to get excited about this film again!
The website furthemore has an update on the much-speculated release date for the film, which Twohy (as expected) confirms is not the previously announced March 13 2009. According to Twohy, distribution rights for the film have been picked up by Universal, and an August (14) 2009 theatrical release is being eyed. This is fantastic news, guys! From David Twohy’s WordPress blog:
So no, the new movie won’t be released March 14 as I’d suggested earlier. Which is a bad news/good news tale – with an emphasis on the latter.
See, once upon a time, APG was going to be an MGM release, and March 14 was the date that worked for that studio’s release schedule. But recently Universal saw the movie, liked its upside, and made a successful bid to cherry-pick it away from MGM. Which is fine by me, since I’ve done two releases with the folks at Uni — Pitch Black and Riddick. It’s a good team they have in place, led by Adam Fogelson, and they know their shit. Waiting a few extra months for them to get their marketing materials together is a small price to pay for having a major like Uni release your movie.
Anyway, the date that works for Uni schedule is now sometime in August, possibly August 14. And I’ll even caveat that, if only because movies frequently change release dates these days. Sometimes it’s a reflection of the movie itself, sometimes it’s simply about the musical chairs that all studios play with their releases. So don’t get too hung up about it. I don’t.
What a relief. Oh, and in case you missed it, Twohy continues to refer to the film as A Perfect Getaway rather than the previously speculated test screening title of Middle of Nowhere, so I think we can safely scrap the latter movie title. Yay! I always did the first one better.
