A24 has a great relationship with some of the best actors in Hollywood, like Jeremy Allen White and Zac Efron in The Iron Claw and Michelle Yeoh and Ke Huy Quan in Everything Everywhere All At Once.
These talented performers keep A24’s success going. Next up for A24 is Colman Domingo, coming off a successful 2023 with an Academy Award nomination for his role in Rustin, showing his skill as a leading man.
With everyone eager to see Domingo’s next project, excitement grew when it was announced he’d star in an A24 film, Sing Sing.
Based on a true story, Sing Sing is the perfect follow-up for Domingo, offering an emotional setting where his relatable performances can shine.
After premiering in the Special Presentations program at the 2023 Toronto International Film Festival, Sing Sing will have a limited release in theaters in Los Angeles and New York on July 12, expanding nationwide on August 2.
If it’s not playing near you, don’t worry, as it will have a wider release on August 2. Thanks to A24’s streaming deal with Warner Bros. Discovery, Sing Sing will also come to Max after its theatrical and PVOD run, joining other exciting titles on the platform.
The official Sing Sing trailer, released in March, is available to watch above. The trailer sets a tragic theatrical tone, quoting the famous “To be or not to be?” monologue from Shakespeare’s Hamlet.
It highlights Domingo’s performance, promising he’ll be at his best, and also showcases Clarence Maclin, who seems to be delivering a star-making performance based on his own life.
Sing Sing appears to be a life-affirming movie that might require some tissues for inevitable tears. Colman Domingo heads up this exciting A24 project.
Despite mixed reviews for the film, Domingo shined, earning an Academy Award nod and catching the attention of Hollywood execs looking for their next reliable leading man.
Sing Sing prides itself on being based on a true story. Director Greg Kwedar uses Italian Neo-realism techniques, casting those truly affected by the story. This creates a sense of ultra-realism and emotional depth.
The official plot synopsis for Sing Sing reads: “Divine G (Colman Domingo), imprisoned at Sing Sing for a crime he didn’t commit, finds purpose by acting in a theatre group with other incarcerated men.
When a wary outsider joins the group, the men decide to stage their first original comedy, in this stirring true story of resilience, humanity, and the transformative power of art, starring an unforgettable ensemble cast of formerly incarcerated actors.”
