A night before it makes its premiere at Toronto, and Chris Evans' BEFORE WE GO, also starring Alice Eve, has already been picked up for distribution.
RADiUS has purchased rights to the film, formerly titled 1:30 TRAIN, for $1 million+, and will release it in Spring ("second quarter) 2015.
RADiUS/TWC distributed Evans' SNOWPIERCER, which apparently did way better on VOD than theatrically, providing a prime example of alternative distribution models, as well as showing off RADiUS' own expertise. BEFORE WE GO, like SNOWPIERCER, will largely be sold off of Evans' star power, so it makes sense the actor/director would trust their proven savvy to handle the distribution of his less-commercial romance movie.
Dropping it in around the same time as AVENGERS: AGE OF ULTRON shouldn't hurt them much either…
We should be hearing more about the film when it plays Toronto tomorrow night, but I'd think that if RADiUS is already pulling the trigger on the film, it might be something worth keeping an eye out for. Wouldn't it be kinda awesome if Cap could actually direct??
BEFORE WE GO will take you for a night out in NYC during second quarter (April-June) 2015.
