‘Dreamin’ Wild’ acquired by Roadside Attractions

Posted on Written by bohemian

According to The Wrap, ‘Dreamin’ Wild’ has been acquired by distribution company Roadside Attractions and will come to cinemas on August 4.

“Love & Mercy” director Bill Pohlad is back with another offbeat musician biopic called “Dreamin’ Wild,” which was just acquired by Roadside Pictures (who also released “Love & Mercy”).

This time around Pohland is charting the life of Donnie and Joe Emerson, who recorded an album called “Dreamin’ Wild” in the late 1970s at a state-of-the-art studio built by their father on the family’s 1600-acre farm in rural Washington. The album didn’t do anything and Donnie embarked on an equally obscure solo career. But in 2012, the album was rediscovered as a lost classic and re-released by hip Seattle-based record label Light in the Attic Records.

“As he proved with his debut Love & Mercy, nobody understands the power of music to heal and transform lives better than Bill Pohlad. We are so excited to bring his second film, the story of a family whose lives were changed by making one classic record, to theatrical audiences this summer,” said Eric d’Arbeloff, Roadside Attractions Co-President in an official statement.

“Dreamin’ Wild” will open in theaters on August 4.

Posted on Written by bohemian

Netflix has released its 2023 lineup and ‘The Magician’s Elephant’ has been set for March 17. The article also has the first from the movie.

When Peter (voiced by Noah Jupe), who is searching for his long-lost sister Adele (voiced by Pixie Davies), crosses paths with a fortune teller in the market square, there’s only one question on his mind: Is his sister still alive? The answer — that he must find a mysterious elephant and the magician (voiced by Benedict Wong) who will conjure it — sets Peter off on a harrowing journey to complete three seemingly impossible tasks that will change the face of his town forever and take him on the adventure of a lifetime. The Magician’s Elephant is based on the classic novel by two-time Newbery Award–winning author Kate DiCamillo.
