Logan Lucky hits US theaters on August 18, 2017
and is expected to be released on Prime Video during the first
quarter of 2018
Soderbergh returns from a self-imposed
four-year retirement to direct the heist comedy starring Channing
Tatum (Magic Mike), Daniel Craig (Skyfall), Adam Driver (Amazon
Original Paterson), Seth MacFarlane (Ted), Hilary Swank (Million
Dollar Baby), Riley Keough (Mad Max: Fury Road), Katherine
Waterston (Alien: Covenant), Katie Holmes (Batman Begins) and
Sebastian Stan (Captain America: Winter Soldier)
(NASDAQ:AMZN) Amazon today announced a deal to bring Steven
Soderbergh’s newest film to Prime Video customers during its
exclusive first-run US streaming window. Logan Lucky will hit
theaters on August 18, 2017 and is expected to be released on Prime
Video during the first quarter of 2018. Additionally, Amazon has
signed an exclusive two-year first-look deal with Fingerprint
Releasing on its theatrical film projects. Fingerprint is the new
US film distributor formed by Soderbergh and piloted by Dan
Fellman, former long-time President of Domestic Distribution for
Warner Bros., with Amazon providing strategic P&A financing to
augment the marketing of Fingerprint’s theatrical releases.
Says Soderbergh, the Oscar- and Emmy-winning director known for
box office and critical successes such as Ocean’s Eleven, Erin
Brockovich and Magic Mike, “The deal with Amazon is the final,
crucial piece of the puzzle. The scale of this endeavor required a
fearless, flexible co-conspirator, and Amazon has shown they have
the appetite and vision to help us navigate these semi-unchartered
waters. I’m both relieved and excited, which is one of my favorite
states of being.”
“We’re thrilled to be working with the Fingerprint Releasing
team,” said Jason Ropell, Amazon’s Vice President of World Wide
Movies. “The combination of a pioneering director, a compelling
script and an A-list cast made this an easy decision. We strive to
work with partners who bring innovative ideas to our service; with
Fingerprint Releasing, Steven is creating a new paradigm for indies
which can seriously compete with major studios on director and
star-driven projects, and we’re excited to support that
vision.”
Other companies partnering with Fingerprint on the film’s US
distribution include Bleecker Street and Universal Home
Entertainment. Milan Records will be distributing the film’s
soundtrack album. FilmNation Entertainment is handling the film’s
international deals.
Logan Lucky was written by Rebecca Blunt, produced by Gregory
Jacobs, Mark Johnson, Reid Carolin and Channing Tatum, and
executive produced by Michael Polaire, Dan Fellman, and NASCAR’s
Zane Stoddard. Trying to reverse the infamous Logan Family Curse,
brothers Jimmy Logan (Channing Tatum) and Clyde Logan (Adam
Driver), along with sister Mellie Logan (Riley Keough) hook up with
accomplice Joe Bang (Daniel Craig) to execute an impossibly
elaborate robbery during the Coca-Cola 600, the biggest NASCAR race
of the year. In addition to Tatum, Craig, Driver, MacFarlane,
Swank, Keough, Waterston, Holmes and Stan, Logan Lucky also stars
Dwight Yoakam (Amazon Original Goliath), David Denman (13 Hours),
Macon Blair (Gold), Jack Quaid (The Hunger Games) and Brian Gleeson
(Snow White and the Huntsman) and features cameos from six NASCAR
drivers.
