Magazine Dreams has finally secured a release date, nearly two years after the Jonathan Majors-led bodybuilding movie was a sensation at the Sundance Film Festival. Writer-director Elijah Bynum‘s feature hits theaters March 21, 2025, from Briarcliff Entertainment. Starring Majors as amateur bodybuilder Killian Maddox, the film’s cast includes Haley Bennett, Taylour Paige, Mike O’Hearn, Harrison Page and Harriet Sansom Harris.
After its buzzy Sundance launch in January 2023, Magazine Dreams was poised to help catapult Majors into the awards race. Searchlight acquired the title in a bidding war, but the company jettisoned it earlier this year after Majors was convicted of assault and harassment following an incident with ex-partner Grace Jabbari.
Founded by Tom Ortenberg, Briarcliff has developed a reputation for handling controversial projects. In October, the company released The Apprentice, which stars Sebastian Stan as Donald Trump and has collected $17 million globally.
Also scheduled for theatrical release on March 21 are Disney’s live-action Snow White and Warner Bros.’ Robert De Niro-led crime film Alto Knights.
