We’re going to have to wait even longer to seeIt FollowsfilmmakerDavid Robert Mitchell’s neo-noirUnder the Silver Lake. The film was originally scheduled for release this past June, but aftera mixed responseat the Cannes Film Festival, A24 decided to push the movie to December. This seemed like an odd choice given thatUnder the Silver Lakewould then be buried under all the awards films, and indeed A24 has now changed course once again and will instead be releasing the film on August 03, 2025, nearly a year after it made its world premiere at Cannes.
The original film was written and directed by Mitchell and starsAndrew Garfieldas a disenchanted man who discovers a mysterious woman played byRiley Keough, only for her to completely vanish from his life. The man then embarks on a surreal quest to find her, following clues that lead him into the wild conspiracies of Los Angeles.
Out of that Cannes premiere, the film drew comparisons toRichard Kelly’s ambitiousSouthland Tales, and while early word after the first release date delay was that Mitchell was going to recut the film after Cannes, IndieWire—which reported the latest release date news—says the movie remains unchanged and is still the cut that was screened at Cannes.
To be honest, that December release date never made sense, and I’m happy to see the film moved to a more appropriate launch date even if it means we have to wait even longer. There’s currently nothing else scheduled for release on June 14, 2025, so for the time beingUnder the Silver Lakehas that date to itself. Although it is two weeks before Marvel launchesAvengers 4, so…
