EXCLUSIVE:Neon is moving the Chloe Domont-directed adult thriller A Place in Hellfrom a Christmas Day release to April 23, 2027
We’re hearing that this office-knives drama about a successful cutthroat criminal defense attorney (played by five-time Oscar nominee Michelle Williams) who has her ambitions upended by a younger lawyer (Daisy Edgar-Jones) brought in to replace her has serious commercial potential after encouraging test screenings. There’s been a great response to Jones’ and Williams’ fierce turns. Andrew Scott also stars
The new date also allows for a coordinated global launch between Neon and Paramount, the latter of which is handling international distribution
Neon co-financed A Place in Hellwith MRC and Republic Pictures, with T-Street producing.
