Psychological thriller We Need to Talk About Kevin is getting it's opening pushed forward.THR reports that producers Oscilloscope Laboratories has moved up the release to January 13, when it will open at New York's Lincoln Plaza Cinemas and Angelika Film Center. A week later, the film will come to the Arclight Hollywood Theater in L.A.
We Need To Talk About Kevin stars Tilda Swinton and John C. Reilly as the parents of an increasingly disturbed and disturbing son, played by Ezra Miller. It is directed by Lynne Ramsay.
Oscilloscope president David Fenkel said, "We had an amazing one-week qualifying run in December where the film's attendance exceeded even our highest expectations."
Fenkel also added that, "The reviews were stellar, and the word-of-mouth is only growing. It's an intense psychological thriller that audiences feel the need to talk about afterwards. By definition this is an ideal 'word of mouth' film. Theaters are excited to have a quality arthouse genre film to bring in younger audiences."
