Here's where you can watch one of the most anticipated horror movies of 2020.
We really need to dive into just what happened, and why it made sense.
Janelle Monae's new movie had a red carpet premiere, but it was a very different sort of event.
Antebellum attempts to be a horror movie set in the slavery South, but it has little care for the explosive imagery it handles and even less care for narrative construction.
Reviews are out for the Jonelle Monae-led time-bending horror film.
Antebellum is a movie built on a good intentions, and yet it frequently talks down to its audience in an infuriatingly smug manner. It’s a movie built around a single big reveal that’s meant to impress upon you a reality that you’re probably already aware of. The film wants to stress that America’s original sin of the slavery remains with us, but puts so much emphasis on a big reveal that it misses both the human stakes and our present miseries with regards to racial injustice. The cruelest cut of all in Gerard Bush and Christopher …
Today, we’re pleased to debut an exclusive clip from the upcoming horror film Antebellum. The film stars Janelle Monáe as a successful author who finds reality upended with horrifying consequences. In this clip, you can already see that reality breaking down as a typical elevator ride gets disrupted by the presence of a creepy child. Antebellum has been on my radar since it’s unnerving first trailer, and nothing has diminished my interest in this film. Ideally, this would be a movie you’d love to see in a theater because horror plays so well with a crowd, …
The mind-bending Janelle Monáe thriller Antebellum is skipping theaters and will instead premiere on premium VOD on Sept. 18, it was announced Thursday by Lionsgate. Advocacy filmmakers Gerard Bush and Christopher Renz wrote and directed the provocative film, which follows a successful author (Monáe) who finds herself trapped in a horrifying reality that forces her to confront the past, present and future -- before it’s too late. Jena Malone and Jack Huston co-star alongside Eric Lange, Kiersey Clemons, Gabourey Sidibe, Marque Richardson, Robert Aramayo, Lily Cowles and newcomer Tongayi Chirisa. Bush and Renz also produced the …
Lionsgate has released a new trailer for the thriller Antebellum. While the teaser trailer kept the plot vague, this new brief trailer (without spoiling too much), provides the basic premise of the plot. Janelle Monae plays a woman in the present day who has a good and happy life, but then she's kidnapped and forced back into slavery through time travel. From there, she has to fight back to escape not only slavery, but to return to her own time. This is a pretty brilliant conceit since it acknowledges the truth that time travel is really a white man'…
Lionsgate has delayed the release of the Chris Rock movie Spiral, the Janelle Monae thriller Antebellum and the Sarah Paulson movie Run, Collider has learned. Antebellum was set for release on April 24, Run was set for May 8 and Spiral was set for May 15. More to come... …
The first trailer for Antebellum was a highly intriguing visual whiplash that left you with a lot more questions than answers about the horror film starring Janelle Monáe. Luckily, a second trailer has arrived, and woo boy I still don't know what's going on here and man am I hyped about it. If anything I'm doubly confused and three times as excited. Written and directed by Gerard Bush and Christopher Renz in their feature-directing debut, Antebellum seems to have Monáe playing a TED Talk-y thought leader who is somehow whisked backward in time …
Last night at the Oscars, Janelle Monáe opened up the ceremony with a delightful, time-hopping journey through Mr. Rogers, her own brand of futurist funk, and the old-fashioned glamor of Hollywood mixed with the contemporary film classics of 2019. In the upcoming 2020 horror film Antebellum, starring Monáe, she also seems to be colliding through different time periods simultaneously. But based on these newly released pictures, they seem less "fun" and more "terrifyingly interrogating the traumas of America." Beyond Monáe, Antebellum also stars Kiersey Clemons, Gabourey Sidibe, Jena Malone, Jack Huston, Eric Lange, Tongayi Chirisa, …
Janelle Monae's new horror movie, Antebellum, is surrounded by mystery: here's everything we know so far about the upcoming 2020 film.
Lionsgate has released the first trailer for Antebellum. We’re not really sure what to make of this one (even the synopsis doesn’t give away any plot points), but judging from the trailer, the story looks to involve a woman (Janelle Monae) who’s jumping between the present day and the antebellum South, or at least that's the impression I get from this intriguing teaser trailer. What makes this such an intriguing premise for a horror film is that there’s a rich subtext about the lasting impact of slavery and how while technology and settings change, our …
Janelle Monáe plays an author trapped in a 'mind-bending mystery' involving the Antebellum South in the trailer for the horror movie Antebellum.
