Searchlight Pictures has confirmed its acquisition of worldwide rights to Magazine Dreams, winner of the Jury Award for Creative Vision at last month’s Sundance festival.
Written and directed by Elijah Bynum, the film stars Jonathan Majors, Haley Bennett and Taylour Paige in the story of an aspiring bodybuilder who struggles to find human connection as he tries to achieve his dream of superstardom against the advice of doctors.
The film was produced by Jennifer Fox, Dan Gilroy, Jeffrey Soros and Simon Horsman. Executive producers are Majors, under his production banner Tall Street Productions, Luke Rodgers and Andrew Blau.
Searchlight presidents Matthew Greenfield and David Greenbaum commented: “We are very proud to bring Elijah’s powerful film to the world. Jonathan’s tour-de-force performance, both physically and emotionally, affected us in profound ways.”
Searchlight previously bought rights to this year’s Sundance Jury Award (Ensemble) winner Theater Camp, directing debut of Molly Gordon and Nick Lieberman.
