The Green Inferno’s September Release Date Postponed
Eli Roth’s The Green Inferno (review) is a film we’ve been waiting to see for quite some time now, and unfortunately it looks like we’ll be waiting a bit longer as its anticipated September 5th release date via Open Road Films has now been postponed.
Per Deadline, financier Worldview Entertainment is balking at ex-CEO Christopher Woodrow’s commitment to provide the P&A (promotion and advertising) for the film. Open Road confirmed to the site that the release date is scratched but had no further comment.
Apparently Worldview has been going through a restructure since Woodrow’s abrupt and largely unexplained exit, and the company, now run by Molly Conners, put a freeze on all of his commitments and is scrutinizing every deal that was made. Green Inferno has been caught in that snare.
Director Roth tweeted the news as well, explaining, “Everyone is working to solve this ASAP. Thank u for understanding!”
We’ll keep you posted as further news comes in.
Lorenza Izzo, Ariel Levy, and Sky Ferreira star in the film.
Synopsis
From acclaimed horror director, Eli Roth, THE GREEN INFERNO follows a group of student activists who travel from New York City to the Amazon to save the rainforest. However, once they arrive in this vast green landscape, they soon discover that they are not alone… and that no good deed goes unpunished.
