Director Scott Cooper‘s Antlers, produced by Guillermo del Toro, had been set for release this past April via Disney’s Searchlight, but that date was of course bumped back indefinitely due to the ongoing pandemic. A new date, however, was provided this past summer, the movie bumped all the way to February 19, 2021. But even that date, alas, has now been changed.
At the moment, Antlers has been taken off the release schedule entirely. Disney is likely scrambling to figure out a new release plan, and we’ll report more on that as we learn it.
In Antlers, a small-town Oregon teacher (Keri Russell) and her brother (Jesse Plemons), the local sheriff, become entwined with a young student (Jeremy T. Thomas) harboring a dangerous secret with frightening consequences.
Based on the short story “The Quiet Boy” by Nick Antosca (“Channel Zero”), Antlers is written by Henry Chaisson and Antosca, with revisions by Cooper.
