Searchlight Pictures Dates 4 New Films for 2021
Searchlight Pictures has come out swinging with four big titles for the 2021 season. One of them is one of those forever delayed movies while another we already covered, but seriously it's del Toro who wouldn't be excited about that. Searchlight has put out some really fantastic movies in recent years, so it's going to be really interesting to see what works and what doesn't for them in 2021. Also, if any of these actually end up coming out because pandemic, but the earliest release we have on this schedule is July, so maybe we'll have our collective shit together by then. Searchlight sent out a press release with cast and crew lists and summaries along with the new release dates for the four titles.
