Once upon a time, Oculus director Mike Flanagan’s Before I Wake was dated for release in May of last year, before it was pushed back to September. And then it was pulled from the schedule and moved to April of this year, before being bumped yet again to September. The latest date? We don’t even know anymore.
Relativity just dated The Disappointments Room for release on September 9th, bumping Before I Wake out of that slot and leaving the film’s future hanging in the balance. Flanagan, taking to social media, expressed his heartbreak over the mishandling of his latest flick.
“Can’t believe I have to type this again – Before I Wake is being bumped off its 9/9 release date,” Flanagan tweeted. “Relativity just not ready. Words fail.”
“Before I Wake deserved so, so much better than this,” he added.
I suppose this should come as no surprise to, well, anyone. Sigh.
Before I Wake stars Kate Bosworth (Superman Returns), Thomas Jane (“Hung”), Annabeth Gish (“Pretty Little Liars”), Dash Mihok (“Ray Donovan”), and Jacob Tremblay (Room). It’s directed by Mike Flanagan, who co-wrote the script with Jeff Howard. Trevor Macy, Sam Englebardt, and William D. Johnson produced.
Synopsis:
In this intense and heart-pounding supernatural thriller, Jessie (Bosworth) and Mark (Jane) decide to take in a sweet and loving 8-year-old boy, Cody. Unbeknownst to them, Cody is terrified of falling asleep. At first they assume his previous unstable homes caused his aversion to sleep but soon discover why: Cody’s dreams manifest in reality as he sleeps. In one moment they experience the incredible wonder of Cody’s imagination and in the next the horrific nature of his night terrors. To save their new family, Jessie and Mark embark on a dangerous hunt to uncover the truth behind Cody’s nightmares.
