Grant) seeks to exploit the creature's miraculous curative properties.' Rated R, Death of a Unicorn also stars Téa Leoni, Will Poulter, Sunita Mani, Jessica Hynes, Steve Park and Anthony Carrigan. The film opened in theaters on March 28. Death of a Unicorn is expected to debut on digital streaming via premium video on demand on Tuesday, April 29, When to Stream reported. While When to Stream is typically accurate with its PVOD reports, the streaming tracker noted that Death of a Unicorn's studio, A24, has not announced or confirmed the release date and it is subject to change. Death of a Unicorn is currently listed for pre-order for $24.99 on Prime Video, which is also the film's purchase price. Since digital rentals are typically $5 less than purchase prices, viewers can expect to rent Death of a Unicorn for a 48-hour period for $19.99. In addition to Prime Video, Death of a Unicorn will also be available to rent on such digital platforms as AppleTV and Fandango at Home. While Jenna Ortega's star was already on the rise thanks to her work in Scream and Scream VI, her star rose dramatically with the debut of Wednesday Season 1 on Netflix in November 2022. Death of a Unicorn writer-director Alex Scharfman told The Hollywood Reporter in March that he sent his script to Ortega the weekend before the debut of Wednesday Season 1. When he and Ortega met, the filmmaker immediately knew she was the right person to play Ridley, whom he calls 'the emotional center of the movie.' 'I don't know what we would've done if we didn't get Jenna. It's such a hard role, and she does such an incredible job with it,' Sharfman told THR. 'Aligning things with her schedule was not necessarily a challenge because it ended up working out relatively easily, but there's always that dance of, 'How can this happen?' 'But there was a really great vibe as of our first meeting, and she really got the character,' Scharfman added. 'She also got what I was trying to do on a genre and story level, and she was just incredible as a collaborator and performer.' Death of a Unicorn, starring Jenna Ortega and Paul Rudd, is expected to arrive on PVOD on Tuesday.

Jenna Ortega and Percy Hynes-White in "Winter Spring Summer or Fall." Winter Spring Summer or Fall — a romantic drama starring Jenna Ortega and her former Wednesday co-star Percy Hynes White — is coming soon to digital streaming and theaters. Directed by Tiffany Paulsen, Winter Spring Summer or Fall held its world premiere at the Tribeca Film Festival in June of 2024. Ortega stars in the film as Remi, a genius high school who is Harvard-bound after high school. Remi begins to rethink her path, though, after she meets her neighbor's best friend, Barnes (Hynes White), who is not sure of his next step and is taking a gap year after high school. Facing uncertainty over where their relationship will go, Remi and Barnes experience different twists and turns over the course of a year, through winter, spring, summer and fall. Written by Dan Schoffer, Winter Spring Summer or Fall also stars Adam Rodriguez and Marisol Nichols as Remi's parents, Javier and Carmen. Paramount Pictures announced in YouTube video Monday that Winter Spring Summer or Fall will be released on digital streaming via premium video on demand on Friday, April 25. The film will also open in limited release in theaters the same day. Winter Spring Summer or Fall is listed for pre-order for $18.99 on Prime Video, which will also be the film's purchase price. Since PVOD titles generally are $5 less than purchase prices, viewers can expect to rent Winter Spring Summer or Fall for 48 hours for $13.99. In additon to Prime Video, the film will be available on a variety of digital platforms including AppleTV and Fandango at Home. In a Zoom conversation prior to the world premiere of Winter Spring Summer or Fall at the Tribeca Film Festival, director Tiffany Paulsen said she was lucky to land Jenna Ortega for the film because her career immediately shot into the stratosphere following the release of director Tim Burton's Wednesday Season 1 on Netflix in 2022. 'It's an interesting story in that we started shooting on Halloween day of 2022,' Paulsen said. 'In order to get Jenna for the movie we had to do backflips and cartwheels and jump through so many hoops … we only had a little window of time. I think it was 11 days.' On top of that, Percy Hynes White played a key role in Wednesday Season 1 as well. 'We had to shut down production for three weeks in order to allow her and Percy to do all the Wednesday press. I think Jenna went to the Brazil Comic-Con and she was traveling,' recalled Paulsen. 'Then Wednesday premiered and she came back to us as this global phenomenon had exploded and we shot the rest of the movie. So, we got her at this very interesting and monumentally exciting time in her career.' Paulsen, who makes her directorial debut with Winter Spring Summer or Fall, has previously written the screenplays for such hits as Holidate, Nancy Drew and the remake of Adventures in Babysitting. Now, with her first film as a director under her belt, Paulsen said she couldn't have asked for a better star to work with to kick off her career as a director. 'In the first couple of days of shooting, I felt for my first movie I had really won the lottery to have this girl and her talent and this story,' Paulsen said. 'I don't know what more I could have asked for.' Rated R, Winter Spring Summer or Fall, starring Jenna Ortega and Percy Hynes White, arrives on digital streaming and in limited release in theaters on April 25.
