And since I had great admiration for Parker as an actor, I was eager to see what he had brought off in “The Birth of a Nation.” Simply having the moxie to bring this movie into existence was a heroic act, and the fact that it premiered in the heat of the #OscarsSoWhite imbroglio, against the backdrop of Black Lives Matter and the perception that murderous racism still thrived in America more than most of the culture was willing to admit, seemed not so much coincidence as karma. It’s a movie that Denzel Washington would have had to fight to get made - but Parker, a relative nobody, went out and did it. Parker, a gifted actor who was on the rise but hardly a marquee movie star, had beaten the odds to direct, produce, co-write, and play the lead role in a movie about one of the pivotal events in African-American history.
That film was Nate Parker’s “ The Birth of a Nation.” I felt like I understood what the ovation was about, and though I didn’t join in, I applauded in my heart.
But this past January, at the gigantic Eccles Theatre in Park City, I watched the only standing ovation I have ever experienced - anywhere - that took place before the film it was applauding even began. The official release date for In the Deep is listed as August 2, 2016.Over the years, I have seen many standing ovations at the Sundance Film Festival. When the cable attaching their observation cage to the boat breaks and the cage sinks to the bottom of the ocean, the sisters must figure out a way to get back to safety battling injuries, lack of oxygen, and, worst of all, bloodthirsty Great White sharks. In The Deep dives into a world of two sisters (Moore and Holt) who become trapped at the bottom of the ocean when a diving expedition to observe sharks goes horribly wrong. The film will be distributed on home video by Anchor Bay Entertainment.Īhead of the DVD release, Dread Central has provided the new artwork for the movie, which you can take a look at below: Credit: Dimension Films With The Other Side of the Door director Johannes Roberts helming the picture, In the Deep stars Mandy Moore, Yani Gellman, Claire Holt, and Matthew Modine.
