Evan Rachel Wood, Gina Rodriguez, Richard Jenkins, Debra Winger Star In Miranda July’s KAJILLIONAIRE, In Theaters September 18

By  | 

Focus Features is planning to release the upcoming movie KAJILLIONAIRE in theaters on September 18, 2020.

From acclaimed writer/director Miranda July (her third feature film) comes a profoundly moving and wildly original comedy. Con-artists Theresa (Debra Winger) and Robert (Richard Jenkins) have spent 26 years training their only daughter, Old Dolio (Evan Rachel Wood), to swindle, scam, and steal at every opportunity.

During a desperate, hastily conceived heist, they charm a stranger (Gina Rodriguez) into joining their next scam, only to have their entire world turned upside down.

Watch the trailer now, featuring the song “Mr. Lonely” performed by Angel Olsen & Emile Mosseri (the film’s composer).

Written and directed by Miranda July, the director of photography is Sebastian Winterø, edited by Jennifer Vecchiarello with music by Emile Mosseri; production design by Sam Lisenco; costumes by Jennifer Johnson; casting by Mark Bennett and produced by Dede Gardner, Jeremy Kleiner and Youree Henley.
