Following its premiere earlier this year at the Sundance Film Festival, Shana Feste‘s thriller Run Sweetheart Run had previously been slated for a theatrical release through Blumhouse Tilt and OTL Releasing, but was pulled from release back in April. And we've now learned that Amazon Studios has acquired the film from Blumhouse and Automatik, with plans to release it through Amazon Prime Video.
However, a release date has not yet been revealed.
In Run Sweetheart Run, a blind date turns violent and the woman (Ella Balinska) has to get home on foot through Los Angeles as she’s pursued by her date (Pilou Asbaek).
Aml Ameen (The Maze Runner), Dayo Okeniyi (Shades of Blue), Betsy Brandt ("Breaking Bad"), with Clark Gregg (The Avengers) and Shohreh Aghdashloo (Star Trek Beyond, House of Sand and Fog) also star.
Feste is also a producer on the film with Jason Blum and Brian Kavanaugh-Jones. Jennifer Besser, Couper Samuelson, Bea Sequeira and Jeanette Volturno are executive producers.
"As crazy as audiences may find the film protagonist’s experience, I wrote and directed a film that is based on a very personal story for me and I’m thrilled that a global audience will have the chance to see it soon on Amazon Prime," said Shana Feste. "I’m also grateful to my friends at Universal and Blumhouse for their unending support of the film."
It's also worth noting that Run Sweetheart Run is a separate acquisition and will not be included as part of the previously announced Amazon Studios and Blumhouse Television slate of eight titles.
