Materialists On OTT: Where To Watch Dakota Johnson, Chris Evans And Pedro Pascal's Film
Last Updated: Celine Song's romantic triangle drama Materialists is all set for OTT release after theatrical run. After a theatrical run that turned heads with its stellar cast, Materialists, starring Dakota Johnson, Chris Evans and Pedro Pascal, is now heading to digital platforms. Directed by Past Lives filmmaker Celine Song, this love-triangle drama opened in theatres on June 13 and is now gearing up for its OTT debut. Here's when and where you can watch it, along with everything else you need to know about the film. When, Where And How To Watch Materialists The makers, A24, confirmed to USA TODAY that Materialists will be available for purchase digitally starting Tuesday, July 22. Viewers can rent the film on major platforms including Apple TV, Prime Video, Google TV/YouTube Movies. In the US, it will also stream via Fandango at Home and local cable on-demand services. Despite its digital release, the film continues to screen in select theatres across the country. What Is Materialists About? Set in the heart of New York City, Materialists follows Lucy Mason (Dakota Johnson), a top-tier matchmaker who's great at finding love for others but struggles with her own. Torn between her flawed ex-boyfriend John Finch (Chris Evans) and the seemingly perfect, wealthy suitor Harry Castillo (Pedro Pascal), Lucy's story unfolds in a whirlwind of emotion, timing, and introspection. The film's urban backdrop complements the intimacy of her personal crisis. Star Cast And Crew Apart from Johnson, Evans and Pascal, the film features Zoe Winters, Marin Ireland, Dasha Nekrasova, Joseph Lee and John Magaro in supporting roles. Materialists is written and directed by Celine Song, marking her sophomore project after Past Lives. It's produced by Killer Films and 2 AM, released in the US by A24, and distributed internationally by Sony Pictures Releasing International. Mixed Reviews, Strong Chemistry Despite its promising premise and star power, Materialists opened to mixed critical reception. While some found the plot too conventional, others praised the chemistry between the leads. The film, however, earned $12 million on its opening day, making it A24's third-highest opening to date. While Materialists may not have been the blockbuster some hoped for, especially following the underwhelming reception of Dakota Johnson's Madame Web, its emotional core, stylised direction and heartfelt performances continue to spark conversations. Currently, the film is not available on subscription-based platforms and can only be accessed via purchase or rent on select digital platforms. view comments Disclaimer: Comments reflect users' views, not News18's.

A dazzling speculative novel ponders life's possibilities
The Oscar-nominated film 'Past Lives' was the wistful story of a love triangle. But the tension for its female protagonist was not simply between two partners but between two selves — a past in Seoul lived in Korean and a present as a New Yorker thriving in English. Suspended in that tension between here and there, its screenplay by director Celine Song was a classic work of immigrant fiction. Counterfactuals and imagined homelands have always haunted and inspired displaced artists. In his debut novel, 'Archive of Unknown Universes,' the brilliant young writer Ruben Reyes Jr. turns that art of speculation into a riveting saga of answers.

Greta Lee Will Make Her Directorial Debut With 'The Eyes Are the Best Part'
Greta Lee (Past Lives, The Morning Show) is taking her many talents behind the camera. According to Variety, ELLE's 2023 Women in Hollywood honoree will make her directorial debut with the feature adaptation of The Eyes Are the Best Part. Lee will also pen the script. Here's everything we know so far about the forthcoming Searchlight film. The Eyes Are the Best Part is a psychological horror novel by Monika Kim, which was published last June. The story follows Ji-won, a Korean American college freshman who develops a killer obsession with eating human eyeballs. 'Ji-won is just trying to survive,' Kim told Library Journal. 'With her family falling apart and all of her friends gone, she is painfully aware of the cards that life has dealt her and of being alone out in the world. The seeds of her rage were therefore already planted, and when certain white men come into her life and try to control her, she turns to her deceitful side to get what she wants.' Kim also shared that Jordan Peele's Oscar-winning film Get Out inspired her to write the book. 'Being first and foremost a feminist author, I realized that this genre was the perfect vehicle for me to talk about the experiences of Asian women, but in a fun and interesting way that also provided an outlet for my own sense of humor,' she said. On July 9, Kim posted the film adaptation announcement on Instagram with the simple caption, '👀 👀 👀.' Cast details have not yet been announced. This story will be updated.
