About this deal

Beau Is Afraid, then, is an old script rewritten for 2023, possessing a younger filmmaker’s naivety that its madcap, psychosexual hijinks could ever be financed – except it was, a decade later, with an exclusively theatrical release. When a 2014 draft leaked online a few years ago, I assumed certain scenes couldn’t possibly be filmed, but all of them appear onscreen. Linan, Liliana (June 1, 2020). "A.S.

With my time up, I congratulate Aster on the film – I don’t mention defending it to bewildered strangers after the press screening – and suggest he looks up his own subreddit. “That sounds like a dangerous place for me to go,” he says. “I’m not sure I’ll be running straight there. But it’s flattering.” Audio commentary would work well or a director’s introduction to the film, but that might not be his bag, leaving the audience to work things out for themselves. There’s a lot more set pieces and special effects in Beau Is Afraid, so this would work well as a special feature too. Barker, Stephen (June 29, 2023).

Who is the director of Beau Is Afraid?

The rest of the home media release will probably be July in North America, which would work well for the holidays. It’s a really long film, so you’re going to need a good amount of free time to digest it properly. DVD, Blu-ray and digital details If Beau Is Afraid does come out in April 2023 it should then get a DVD, Blu-ray and digital release date in the UK around August later in the year.

Age rating and parents guide Looking at Ari Aster’s last film, Midsommar, it had a gap of over two months for early access digital and 3 months for everything else in North America.

[24] The film initially had a sneak premiere with a Q&A moderated by Emma Stone at the Alamo Drafthouse Cinema in Brooklyn, New York as part of an April Fools' Day event with livestream screenings provided at Alamo theaters in select cities, as the audience attending was originally scheduled to watch the director's cut of Aster's Midsommar (2019).
