The movie hits theaters next month following its world premiere at SXSW this weekend.
RLJE Films will give ARCADIAN its exclusive big-screen play beginning April 12, with a streaming debut later in the year on Shudder and AMC+. The SXSW premiere takes place next Monday, March 11. Directed by Benjamin Brewer and written by Mike Nilon, it stars Nicolas Cage, Jaeden Martell (IT), Maxwell Jenkins and Sadie Soverall. The synopsis: “In a near future, normal life on Earth has been decimated. Paul [Cage] and his two sons, Thomas [Jenkins] and Joseph [Martell], have been living a half-life–tranquility by day and torment by night. Every night, after the sun sets, they face the unrelenting attacks of a mysterious and violent evil. One day, when Thomas doesn’t return home before sundown, Paul must leave the safety of their fortified farm to find him. A nightmarish battle ensues that forces the family to execute a desperate plan to survive.”
