The first glimpse of the upcoming thriller “Hypnotic” was released on Monday. The movie is helmed by director Robert Rodriguez and stars Ben Affleck in the lead role. It was previewed at the SXSW festival last month and is scheduled to hit the theaters on May 12, 2023. After facing pandemic-related delays and a lawsuit that resulted in the closure of its original distributor, Solstice Studios, the movie’s distribution rights were acquired by Ketchup Entertainment. With former Solstice executives’ help, Ketchup Entertainment plans to release the movie on more than 2,000 screens.
At SXSW, “Hypnotic” garnered positive feedback and tells the tale of a detective played by Ben Affleck, who is investigating a series of crimes that challenge reality and are linked to his missing daughter. Alice Braga plays a gifted psychic who assists him, while William Fichtner portrays a deadly specter who pursues him. The movie also features JD Pardo, Hala Finley, Dayo Okeniyi, Jeff Fahey, and Jackie Earle Haley.
Ben Affleck is currently promoting two other projects, “Air” and “The Flash,” but is equally enthusiastic about “Hypnotic.” The movie is set to debut one week after “Guardians of the Galaxy Vol 3” and on the same weekend as Sony’s “Love Again” and Focus Features’ “Book Club the Next Chapter.”
The trailer of “Hypnotic” offers a glimpse of a thrilling and captivating movie that features an all-star cast, an intriguing plot, and high-budget production. The supernatural element of the movie, with the gifted psychic and deadly specter, adds to the suspense and intrigue.
In summary, “Hypnotic” promises to captivate audiences with its strong cast and skilled direction. With Ketchup Entertainment’s support and a gripping storyline, it is poised for success. The movie is scheduled to be released on May 12, 2023, and is one to watch out for.
