‘The Tomorrow Man’ Lands At Bleecker Street Ahead Of Sundance World Premiere

Bleecker Street has acquired North American rights to The Tomorrow Man, the debut feature film from writer-director Noble Jones that stars John Lithgow and Blythe Danner. The move comes

ahead of the drama’s world premiere in the Premieres section of the Sundance Film Festival. A May 17, 2019 theatrical release is now planned.

The plot; Ed Hemsler (Lithgow) spends his life preparing for a disaster that may never come. Ronnie Meisner (Danner) spends her life shopping for things she may never use. In a small town

somewhere in America, these two people will try to find love while trying not to get lost in each other’s stuff. Derek Cecil, Katie Aselton, Sophie Thatcher and Eve Harlow co-star.

The pic is produced by Luke Rivett, Nicolaas Bertelsen, James Schamus and Tony Lipp. It bows January 30 at the Eccles Theatre in Park City. The fest this year runs January 24-February 3.

Bleecker Street last year around this time landed another Sundance pic, Debra Granik’s Leave No Trace, which has had a strong run during the current awards season.
