Rumors abound that the film’s title, formerly “That’s What I’m Talking About“, is now “Everybody Wants Some” – like the Van Halen track.
Distributor Paramount now says the movie is back to being untitled.
That means a Winter 2016 festival berth-where “Boyhood” and “Before Midnight” were slotted in the past, at Sundance and Berlin-could be in the cards, but the film will not be a Fall festival contender as we had hoped.
Boyhood director Richard Linklater is set to become the latest indie film-maker to to burnish the career of Hunger Games actor Jennifer Lawrence, after it emerged that Linklater is being sought to direct The Rosie Project, a romantic comedy in which Lawrence is due to star.
Richard Linklater’s next film, a to-be-titled baseball comedy that has been described as a spiritual sequel to “Dazed and Confused”, will hit theaters April 15, Paramount Pictures announced Monday.
The Annapurna film, which Paramount will release in North America, stars Tyler Hoechlin, Blake Jenner, Wyatt Russell and Zoey Deutch.
