'September 5' Covers Its Streaming Date

Posted by on
  Have a few Munich knacks. Paramount announced on Monday morning that Best Original Screenplay Oscar and Critics Choice nominee September 5 is headed to Paramount+ tomorrow, Tuesday February 25 in the United States and Canada. International rollout will, as usual, be revealed at a later date, but it never quite gets the coverage the domestic arrival to the platform does. The film was first given a limited release on December 13, and considering Sony Pictures ’s Saturday Night ’s limited release on September 27 was what brought it to Sony’s typical 120-day window for its films when it landed on Netflix on January 25 despite a wide release on October 11, it’s clearly the best way to gauge speed. And for Paramount’s 2024 slate, it’s actually a pretty slow 74 days, as even Sonic the Hedgehog 3 demonstrated a week ago that everyone else tends to be around 60 days, with a few films going 53. Sonic 3  opened a week later on December 20 and arrived on February 18. September 5 ...

Kid Cudi (Inadvertently?) Reveals The Knuckles Series Release Window

Posted by on

 


How did you move forward despite filming again and again and again and again and again and again? Well, for Kid Cudi, that's wrapping production.

The rapper and actor tweeted out on Wednesday that he wrapped production on the Knuckles the Echidna-centered spinoff series of the Sonic the Hedgehog films, and revealed something that hasn't quite been publicly announced. He stated "Officially wrapped on Knuckles!!! This was easily one of the illest experiences Ive ever had on any set ever. U will LOVE what these guys have created for you. I am so proud of what we made. Knuckles comin this fall!!" That's right, apparently the series is coming this fall, a few months away.

No release window had been announced, but if this holds, it could be quite a balanced point between the second film, which released in April 2022, and the third film, still set for a December 2024 release. The series, which is a Paramount+ original, is set between them after all. In it, Knuckles is on a journey of self-discovery as he agrees to train Green Hills deputy sheriff Wade Whipple the ways of the Echidna warrior. Idris Elba reprises his role as Knuckles, which he began with the second film, while Whipple, who appeared in both films, will continue to be played by Adam Pally.

Cudi, real name Scott Mescudi, has a recurring role on the series, as do Ellie Taylor, Edi Patterson of The Righteous Gemstones and The Fungies!, and Julian Barratt from The Mighty Boosh. Guest stars include Tika Sumpter, returning from the films as Maddie Wachowski, wife of James Marsden's Tom Wachowski, and Transformers: EarthSpark's Rory McCann. No information on the new characters have been released, though additional casting is still expected to be announced.

Production began in April, with Jeff Fowler, director of both films so far, directing the pilot and serving as an executive producer. John Whittington, who worked on the screenplay for 2, wrote the Knuckles pilot and serves as head writer and executive producer. Brian Schacter and James Madejski are also writing for the series. Several members of the films' creative team, Neal H. Moritz and Toby Ascher of Original Film and Toru Nakahara, come over to executive produce. Jorma Taccone, Ged Wright, Brandon Trost, and Carol Banker are also directing episodes. Paramount Pictures and Sega of America produce as they do the film.
