Jonathan Majors' new movie, "Magazine Dreams," is finally set for a Theatrical Release after some really major events and controversy.
id="what-happened-to-magazine-dreams">What Happened to Magazine DreamsWhat was "Magazine Dreams" all about before this new Release Date? The movie showcases Jonathan Majors as a star who goes through an incredible journey to become a bodybuilder. However, while it all started out pretty great. Things don't work out in the way this aspiring bodybuilder had dreamed. The story centers on him as he looks to make "dreams" come true. It is even more serious when he looks to take steroids despite the negative advice from his doctors.
If this film had the ability to get into production, audiences could have seen Haley Bennett, Taylour Paige, Mike O'Hearn, Harrison Page, and Harriet Sansom Harris! It is definitely an exciting cast. But in this crazy film industry! Sometimes, the unexpected can hit! That's what happened for Jonathan Majors. This is where the controversy began.
Magazine Dreams Dropped by Disney
It really appears that everything fell apart at one of the biggest, most beloved studios! When Disney's Searchlight Pictures dropped "Magazine Dreams" back in 2023.
It really seems like things were all going as planned for this new movie after Jonathan Majors was arrested for an assault. As a result, this "Magazine Dreams" had a lot of uncertainties with its future.
A New Distributor for Magazine Dreams
After months and months of nothing. We now have some clarity about this movie's destiny! After about 8 months later Briarcliff Entertainment gave "Magazine Dreams" a new chance with a great, new release date! This is a very welcomed sight for many fans! The new distribution deal gives audiences another shot to see the movie that had gotten all kinds of attention from critics, which had gotten an Oscar buzz at the Sundance movie festival!
In fact, "Magazine Dreams" is well-known! With such a promising future and talent from both Jonathan Majors and Elijah Bynum, this film certainly gives audiences some things to consider! But it looks like there was a big change in plans since Majors has also gotten himself into another sticky situation. His reputation as an actor has suffered some controversy since he was convicted of assault and harassment. He had to make big changes. It turns out, this led him to be fired from a role with the MCU (Marvel Cinematic Universe) where he was set to become "Kang the Conqueror!" A major role in one of the largest franchises of this century!
Oscar Buzz For Magazine Dreams
Fans are so hopeful for Jonathan Majors to make another grand debut and possibly win an Oscar. As it appears, his previous performance is worthy. What may be different, and why his fans may want to temper their expectations is the new Briarcliff Entertainment distributor of "Magazine Dreams doesn't have big plans to give it a chance in the Oscar race, specifically the "Awards season!". Majors is well-known, however. He's had some serious hits, but his status in Hollywood has been tarnished with the most recent trial, making this release much less assured! However, he is likely to get attention from fans and audiences for this unique story!
The only thing we can wait and see! Will "Magazine Dreams live up to all the hype? Time will tell if Briarcliff Entertainment can get audiences excited and maybe see Majors have a resurgence, but that's a huge maybe!
Even though the story is set for a big debut on February 2025. It’s time for everyone to realize! Sometimes these stories don't always go to plan. Even for actors who are on a rocket ship of success.
The news of the new Distributor certainly is a ray of hope, but everyone in the film industry is a bit cautious when making big assumptions, as some studios and filmmakers might not want to be involved with something that may create a huge media firestorm.
The movie might just come out, and its fate will be decided based on how audiences enjoy this unique film. As it stands! You'll have to watch and see what's next, especially when a big player like "Disney" drops a major movie like "Magazine Dreams and that's exactly what happened! We hope "Magazine Dreams is able to make a comeback.
