If anyone was to ask us, which type of movies are on the frontline at present in the theater world? Without a doubt, we’d have to answer with movies of the horror and thriller genre in the film industry as they are the ones garnering the most amount of public reception.
And we have good news for the public that thrives for such movies because an upcoming American movie of the horror, sci-fi, thriller, and survival genre in the film industry is about to bless us with its presence. The name of the movie is 65, and it is a movie set on the premise of a prehistoric Earth from 65 million years ago.
The movie is coming from the writers and directors of the well-loved and acclaimed films, A Quiet Place (2018) and A Quiet Place: Part II (2020). So, we can’t help but have our expectations through the roof for this one because the above two movies really knocked our socks off.
As the movie 65 is set in a world featuring prehistoric Earth from 65 million years ago, it can only mean survival from one species of dominant creatures… You guessed it, Dinosaurs are back in existence in that world, and a fierce battle will ensue between Future and Prehistoric creatures!
So, keep on reading to learn more about what to expect from the film, the latest news, release date, cast, etc., about the upcoming horror thriller movie 65.
65: Production and Marketing
The movie 65 is an upcoming American movie of the science fiction, horror, survival, and thriller genre in the film industry. It is a movie that was written and directed by Scott Beck and Bryan Woods.
While Sam Raimi is the main co-producer of the film, besides the directors themselves, more production companies are involved. The film is a joint venture production between Bron Creative, Columbia Pictures, Raimi Productions, Sony Pictures Entertainment, and Beck/Woods.
The movie is going to be distributed by Sony Releasing Pictures in the theaters in the USA on March 17th, 2023. The announcement for the movie’s release was made back in 2020, with an initial release date of May 13th, 2022, but then it was delayed to 2023.
The news that Adam Driver joined the cast was revealed publicly in September 2020, and then two months later, i.e., in November, it was revealed that Ariana Greenblatt joined the cast. Afterward, in December, it was announced that Chloe Coleman had also joined the cast.
The production crew revealed the budget for the movie to be a hefty amount of $91 million! Of course, that was expected because the film would require precise motion captures and stunning VFX for the visuals to feel alive.
Filming for the movie began on November 16th, 2020, in New Orleans. Then, filming was also done in January 2021 at the Kisatchie National Forest in Vernon Parish, Louisiana.
Early in February 2021, it was announced by the production crew that Danny Elfman was working on composing the musical scores for the movie alongside another composer, Chris Bacon. This was expected because of his previous work experience with Sam Raimi on different occasions in his directorial debuts.
Thus far, details and information given about the movie have been scarce, considering how big of a film it is. Even though the movie was announced back in 2020, the trailer for it was only recently released on December 14th, 2023.
From all the facts above, one thing has been very thoroughly cemented for the public; this is an unmissable feature film of 2023. Despite the lack of accurate details regarding the film, the anticipation build-up is unreal.
Release Date
Release Date (USA): March 17, 2023
Official Trailer:
The movie 65 has been subject to a lot of different release dates, all of them being extended. The initial release date was May 13, 2022, but it was rescheduled repeatedly until it landed on the current release date of May 10, 2023.
Thus far, the crew of the movie 65 has revealed the release date for the movie’s theater run only in the United States of America. An international release date is yet to be given, so we can only cross our fingers and hope that it is revealed soon.
65: Cast
The cast lineup for the roles of 65 is as follows:
- Adam Driver as a futuristic pilot and astronaut who was operating the spacecraft before it crashed, names Mills
- Ariana Greenblatt as the sole survivor of the prehistoric crash besides Mills, named Koa
- Chloe Coleman, in an undisclosed role
- Nika King as Alya, also in an unknown role
Thus far, the entire cast for the movie 65 hasn’t been revealed by the production crew. But considering the fact that in the trailer, we only saw two survivors, the ensemble cast is probably just limited to Adam Driver and Ariana Greenblatt.
But Chloe Coleman and Nika King’s roles remain a big mystery to us because nothing about them was shown in the trailer. The production crew only revealed the name of the role of Ayla King, which still discloses nothing.
The Storyline of 65
Now, let’s talk about the plotline of the horror, science fiction, survival, and thriller genre of film, 65. Seemingly, the production crew left us in suspense and anticipation for a long time before the official trailer and plot synopsis were revealed.
In the movie, Mills is an astronaut and mission pilot who had been operating a spacecraft and taking it to an unknown destination. On the spacecraft, there were shown to be 35 more passengers in suspended animation for, once again, undisclosed reasons.
But tragedy struck when a catastrophic crash occurred, leaving behind only two survivors, one being Mission Pilot Mills and a young girl named Koa. After a bit of digging around, Pilot Mills comes to an astonishing realization.
The realization is that they are stranded on an unknown celestial planet that seems to be Earth…..65 million years ago. He promises Koa that they will make it out of this unfamiliar terrain alive.
But that won’t be easy because, unfortunately, they are not alone. It is a prehistoric Earth from 65 million years ago, which means prehistoric creatures exist. And what is the most dominant prehistoric predator from 65 million years ago? You guessed it correctly, Dinosaurs.
We get to watch Pilot Mills, along with the young girl, Koa, battle against the prehistoric creatures they come across, including Dinosaurs. The journey they go through is a perfect representation of the future vs. the prehistoric past.
When and Where can you watch the movie 65?
It is most likely that out of all the subscription-based streaming services out there, like Disney Plus, Hulu, HBO Max, Paramount+, etc., the horror thriller will be available for streaming on Netflix and Amazon Prime. It will be theatrically released worldwide on March 17, 2023, and then be available for streaming on video streaming services.
As to when the movie will be available for streaming, it will take approximately 120 to a whopping 165 days for a film to be added to the Netflix streaming content library after its theatrical run. And for Amazon Prime, it can take about 50 to 90 days for a movie to be added to the content library after the theatrical run is over.
So, we can expect the movie to hit the streaming services either as early as mid-May of 2023 or as late as July of 2023. However, it is more likely that the set theatrical window time of each streaming platform will get stretched out because the movie is sure to be a Box Office favorite.
The directors would definitely like to maximize the period of box office theatrical run for a public reception and for a more significant margin of gross profit. This, unfortunately, makes it more likely that the film will not be available for streaming on any video streaming platforms until September of 2023.
