Article Summary
- 20th Century Studios unveils new TV spot for The Amateur, highlighting early positive reactions.
- The Amateur marks 20th Century Studios' return to theaters with a unique tech-savvy spy thriller twist.
- Starring Rami Malek, the film follows a CIA decoder’s journey for revenge after a personal tragedy.
- The movie, directed by James Hawes, will hit theaters nationwide on April 11, 2025.
20th Century Studios has been notably absent from theaters and streaming for a hot minute now. The last movie the studio released was back in August, and that was after the studio had a really good run of The First Omen, Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes, Deadpool & Wolverine, and Alien: Romulus. So it's nice to finally see them back on the big screen after so long, and they have several more films set to come out later this year. The Amateur is the first of those five theatrically released movies, and it's a spy thriller with a bit of a twist. The "spy" in question isn't some badass with amazing fighting or gun skills, but someone who knows tech and can utilize it as a weapon. It seems the early reactions have dropped, and the new TV spot the studio has dropped is hyping up some positive ones.
