Overview
- Trailers and posters for Remake were released this week and Music Box Films will open the film in New York on July 10 with a Los Angeles run the following week before a national rollout.
- Remake assembles decades of footage shot by McElwee and his late son Adrian to examine their relationship and the ways the camera shaped their bond.
- Music Box Films also acquired McElwee’s Sherman’s March and will premiere a 4K restoration in New York on July 3 and in Los Angeles on July 17.
- McElwee wrote that he made Remake after reviewing home movies following Adrian’s 2016 death as an effort both to hold onto his son and to let him go.
- Festival reception, including a reported prize at Venice, and early critical framing of the film as intensely personal have driven attention ahead of the midsummer theatrical releases.
