“Palm Springs”: Adam Samberg Lives the Same Day Over and Over Again

Nina S — Fri, 19 Jun 2020 05:17:00 +0000

The existential rom-com that broke sundance film festivals has released its first trailer.

The film follows Nyles (Samberg) and made of honor Sarah (Cristin Milioti), who attend a wedding in Palm Springs, California, and after a one-time hookup, Nyles gets shot in the back with an arrow and falls upon a portal that sends him into an endless time loop, causing him to relive the wedding day over and over again with Sarah. The two decide to give in to the situation and they form a bond with each other.

“It’s one of those infinite time loop situations, you might have heard about,” Samberg’s character says in the trailer. “The second you fall asleep, it all just goes back to the start.”

Palm Springs will be released on Hulu on July 10. The film also stars Camila Mendes, Tyler Hoechlin, Peter Gallagher, J.K. Simmons, Meredith Hagner, and Chris Pang.

Max Barbakow the film’s director told Variety that Palm Springs isn’t like other romantic comedies, “We’re subverting a lot of the tropes you usually see in wedding movies and rom-coms,” Barbakow said. “Tonally, it’s that really nice charged area between laughter and deep feeling and then just bonkers stuff.”

The film was supposed to be released in theaters this summer, but due to the coronavirus, it’s going directly to streaming. At Sundance it broke records for the biggest sale in the festival’s history with Hulu paying $17.5 million for distribution rights.

Watch the trailer below.

Andy Samberg’s “Palm Springs” Breaks Sundance Sales Record

Greg H — Fri, 31 Jan 2020 05:23:51 +0000

Sundance Film Festival is in the full swing, and it’s given us a bunch of promising movies we can’t wait to see in theaters. The romantic comedy Palm Springs is one of them, especially after it broke the festival’s sales record by 69 cents.

Palm Springs is your classic wedding rom-com which takes a weird turn after two unlikely individuals cross each other’s path. The movie stars Cristin Milioti and Andy Samberg, who produced the movie through The Lonely Island’s company Party Over Here.

Sundance festival sales record was previously held by The Birth of a Nation, and this sale was obviously somewhat of a prank since Palm Springs surpassed it by only 69 cents after being sold for $17,500,000.69 to Neon and Hulu.

After the sale became official, Samberg released a statement alongside his fellow producers, celebrating the record-breaking success of their latest project.

“We spent over 85 million dollars of our own money on this movie, WE ARE TAKING A BATH on this deal. We hope NEON and Hulu are happy but we definitely have a lot of explaining to do to our families,” reads the statement by the Party Over Here team.
