If all goes according to plan and if all goes well in the notoriously finicky editing room, Terrence Malick’s long-awaited, “The Tree Of Life,” (dubbed a “mystical epic”)will hit U.S. theaters on December 25 via the newly-named Apparition distributors according to Entertainment Weekly’s Fall Preview edition .
Makes complete sense since trade reports already said the film would hit sometime in December (or the “late holiday season,” but what else is that but December?).
Could Sony Pictures be somehow involved? Last week on a Johnny Depp message board, an observant reader noted that imaginariummovie.com, redirected to the Sony movies website and then a day later, Sony Pictures Classics announced they would distribute “The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus” (a film that Depp co-stars in).
