Heading into Lionsgates CinemaCon presentation this afternoon, the studios Motion Picture Group Chairman, Joe Drake, was trying to figure out what he wanted to say to the room of exhibitors. He regaled those at Caesars Palace Colosseum with a story about how he met up with Cineworld and Regal Boss Mooky Greidinger at the confab who challenged Drake to distinguish how his studio stands out among the rest. I smiled when he said it, said Drake, then underscoring, Lionsgate is different. Weredifferent because were the underdog who has to punch above our weight. We have to discover what is new every day. We have to find whats next. We can compete completely on authentic original storytelling. Thats what launches meaningful, long-lasting brands in the discovery of visionary artists, Drake summed up. Watch on Deadline By far the biggest treat in their CinemaCon reel is the upcoming April 22, 2022 Nicolas Cage self-satire The Unbearable Weight of Massive Talent,which drew great applause and laughs from the exhibition attendees at Caesars Palace Colosseum Theatre. Im quitting acting, tell the trades Cage tells his agent played by Neil Patrick Harris. His agent books him a lucrative personal appearance with a really rich guy who lives on a Mediterranean island, played by Pedro Pascal. Its a broad comedy reminiscent of Being John Malkovich. Pascals character is such a fan, he has showroom of Cage memorabilia including a wax figure of the actor fromFace Off. Its grotesque, says Cage seeing it. Pascal asks him, Whats your favorite movie? to which Cage snaps Thats impossible to answer! You cant just pick one! For Cage, its all gorgeous sunsets and jumping off cliffs until Tiffany Haddishs CIA agent shows up. She alerts him that Pascals character is a wanted man, and its up to Cage to take him out. Roland Emmerich in a reel introduced the opening scene and trailer from Moonfall. In the clip, Patrick Wilson, Eme Ikwuakor and Halle Berry play space shuttle astronauts. A magnetic storm throws their ship in a spin, knocking Berrys character out and sending Ikuakors out in space. Wilson tells Berry, Im gonna get you home. But over on the moon, theres a tornado going on. Real environmental hazard or aliens? There was also a first look of Daniel StammsThe Devils Lightabout a nun who prepares to perform an exorcism and comes face to face with a demonic force with mysterious ties to her past. Jacqueline Byers stars as Sister Ann, and in the trailer, shes seen descending the stairs to the basement of a spooky looking convent, only to have a mysterious hand shockingly cover her mouth in the end of the sequence. Lionsgate went heavy with their faith-based fare from the Erwin Brothers Kingdom Story Company with a clip and trailer fromAmerican Underdogabout Kurt Warner and his rise from supermarket stock boy to NFL pro. The trailer shows how Warner in his youth wasnt taken seriously by high school coaches who called him too green to be pro. However, I was rooting for something, something more, says Zachary Levi who plays Warner. In a reel, Warner told the crowd that since he retired from the game, Ive been looking for opportunities to share my story, that your circumstances never have to define you. Its so much more than a sports movie; about perseverance and hope. Lionsgate announced that theyre moving the pics release date from Dec. 10 to Dec. 25 timed to the climax of the NFL season. Levi, on screen, also introduced a clip from another movie hes starring in, The Unbreakable Boy (March 18, 2022), about an autistic young boy with a brittle bone disease. Levi plays the father. Theres also Lionsgates rock docu The Jesus Music (on Oct. 1) from Kingdom Story Company which has aSummer of Soulfeel for the faith-based set. Similar to other studios, Lionsgate kept their trailers to all pics coming out between now and the spring. Were all coming back for CinemaCon in April, and at that time the studio is bound to have looks at Jennifer Lopezs action movieShotgun Wedding, John Wick: Chapter 4and more.
