Long-delayed bodybuilding drama Magazine Dreams, starring Jonathan Majors, is heading to the European Film Market with international sales firm Celsius.
Pic is getting a U.S. release on March 21 via Briarcliff Entertainment. Written and directed by Elijah Bynum, Majors stars alongside Haley Bennett, Taylour Paige, Harriet Sansom Harris, and Mike O’Hearn.
The official synopsis reads: “Magazine Dreams centres on Killian Maddox, a man consumed by his dream of becoming a world famous bodybuilder and one day gracing the cover of fitness magazines. He lives a lonely regimented life and his relentless drive for perfection only pushes him deeper towards self destruction. But beneath his tenacious pursuit of superstardom lies a desperate aching need for human connection. As he battles both the limits of his physical body and his own inner demons, the film explores the lengths one man will go in his haunting quest for recognition in a world that often overlooks him.”
The film debuted to much fanfare at Sundance 2023 and was picked up by Searchlight Pictures after a bidding war but then it was dropped by the buyer after Majors was accused of domestic violence against his ex-girlfriend Grace Jabbari. After going to trial in New York, he was found guilty of two misdemeanor counts of harassment and assault. Jabbari also sued Majors for assault and defamation, but the suit was settled in November 2024.
