William Friedkin’s ‘The Caine Mutiny Court-Martial’ US Premiere Date Set

 

What did we say? Every outlet considered the US separate when Paramount+ acquired William Friedkin’s final film The Caine Mutiny Court-Martial because it was going to be branded a Showtime film, but the merger of the Showtime OTT with Paramount+ to turn the latter's highest tier into Paramount+ with Showtime meant the distinction would be mostly meaningless. Nothing exemplifies this more than the rollout the film has been given.

The Caine Mutiny Court-Martial will premiere on Paramount+ with Showtime on Friday, October 6, before a linear premiere on Sunday, October 8. This will mean Showtime will be premiering movies on back-to-back weekends as original film Heist 88 premieres the very weekend before with equivalent rollout. This is the only premiere date set thus far, as premieres for other territories have not been set. This comes after the movie’s Out of Competition world premiere Sunday at the Venice Film Festival.

The courtroom drama is set just last year, and centers on the trial of Lt. Steve Maryk, a young first Officer played by Jake Lacy who is accused of leading a mutiny on a U.S Navy minesweeper operating in the Persian Gulf, after believing that its long-serving, disciplinarian captain, Lt. Philip Francis Queeg played by Kiefer Sutherland, has become mentally unfit. Barney Greenwald, played by Jason Clarke, is the skeptical Navy lawyer who reluctantly agrees to defend him. The film also stars Lance Reddick, Monica Raymund, Lewis Pullman, Jay Duplass and Tom Riley.

Friedkin, who not only directed the film but wrote it as well, died on August 7 at the age of 87. was best known for directing films such as The Exorcist, The French Connection, and To Live And Die In L.A. The film was brought to Venice by producer Annabelle Dunne, editor Darrin Navarro and Dan Cohen, president of Republic Pictures, which acquired the rights for its parent company Paramount Global Content Distribution. Beasts of the Southern Wild's Matt Parker also produces, while Michael Salven and Mike Upton serve as executive producers.

When the film does get an international release date, it will apply to these Paramount+ markets: Canada, Latin America, the Caribbean, Australia, the United Kingdom, France, Italy, Ireland, Germany, Switzerland, Austria and South Korea.
