Magazine Dreams Lives

Jonathan Majors is still serving his 52-week-long domestic-violence intervention program, but Magazine Dreams has a trailer. Released just as Sundance 2025 comes to a close, the first look focuses its energy squarely on its controversial star. He’s in almost every shot, and there are quotes all over the screen about him: “An entirely astonishing lead performance from Jonathan Majors.”

The movie, which premiered at Sundance Film Festival two years ago, was highly buzzy; Vanity Fair referred to Majors’s performance as “a towering act of becoming.” But then Majors faced charges for, and was later found guilty of, assaulting and harassing his ex-girlfriend Grace Jabbari. Searchlight dropped the movie, only for Briarcliff Entertainment to pick up the baton. Briarcliff is best known at the moment for distributing the controversial (in an entirely different way) Trump biopic The Apprentice, which just earned dual Oscar nominations, after it struggled to get a distributor at Cannes. Magazine Dreams was written and directed by Elijah Bynum and also stars Taylour Paige, Haley Bennett, and Mike O’Hearn. The film will be in theaters on March 21 — though Majors’s MCU dreams remain dashed.
