Due to the SAG-AFTRA strike and Jonathan Majors‘ ongoing legal troubles, Searchlight Pictures has officially decided to remove Majors’ sports drama film Magazine Dreams from the studio’s current theatrical release schedule. Originally scheduled for a December 8, 2023 release, Magazine Dreams has now been pushed back to an indefinite date.
The film had its world premiere earlier this year at the 2023 Sundance Film Festival, where it received critical acclaim. It also currently has a Tomatometer rating of 84% on Rotten Tomatoes, based on 92 reviews.
What is Magazine Dreams?
“Aspiring bodybuilder Killian Maddox struggles to find human connection in this exploration of celebrity and violence,” reads the film’s synopsis. “Nothing deters him from his fiercely protected dream of superstardom, not even the doctors who warn him of the permanent damage he causes to himself with his quest.”
Magazine Dreams is written and directed by Elijah Bynum. It stars Jonathan Majors as Killian Maddox, Haley Bennett as Jessie, Taylour Paige as Pink Coat, Mike O’Hearn as Brad Vanderhorn, Harrison Page as William Lattimore, Bradley Stryker as Ken Donaghue, and Harriet Sansom Harris. It is produced by Jennifer Fox, Dan Gilroy, Jeffrey Soros, and Simon Horsman.
