A24’s Under the Silver Lake Delayed Again

November 2, 2018

A24’s Andrew Garfield vehicle Under the Silver Lake is having a hard time sticking with its release date. The film was initially set for a high-profile summer release before being pushed to December 7 of this year. Now, according to IndieWire, the film has been removed from the 2018 calendar and will instead release April 19, 2019.

Per the report, the film received mixed reviews when it made its premier at Cannes. Since then, A24 has had a difficult time finding the right way to spring the drama on audiences. Representatives for the movie have denied any changes have been made to the film, despite rumors to the contrary.

From the dazzling imagination that brought you It Follows comes a delirious neo-noir fever dream about one man’s search for the truth behind the mysterious crimes, murders, and disappearances in his East L.A. neighborhood.

Sam (Andrew Garfield) is a disenchanted 33-year-old who discovers a mysterious woman, Sarah (Riley Keough), frolicking in his apartment’s swimming pool. When she vanishes, Sam embarks on a surreal quest across Los Angeles to decode the secret behind her disappearance, leading him into the murkiest depths of mystery, scandal, and conspiracy in the City of Angels.

From writer-director David Robert Mitchell comes a sprawling, playful and unexpected mystery-comedy detective thriller about the Dream Factory and its denizens—dog killers, aspiring actors, glitter-pop groups, nightlife personalities, It girls, memorabilia hoarders, masked seductresses, homeless gurus, reclusive songwriters, sex workers, wealthy socialites, topless neighbors, and the shadowy billionaires floating above (and underneath) it all. Mining a noir tradition extending from Kiss Me Deadly and The Long Goodbye to Chinatown and Mulholland Drive, Mitchell uses the topography of Los Angeles as a backdrop for a deeper exploration into the hidden meaning and secret codes buried within the things we love.
