Shout! Studios presents The Magic Flute by Florian Zigl, executive produced by Roland Emmerich, at 325 theaters with expansion likely. A reimagining of the Mozart opera, it follows a present-day teen sent from London to the Austrian Alps on singing scholarship at the legendary Mozart boarding school. There, he discovers a century old forgotten passageway into the magical world of Mozart’s famed opera.
This Harry Potter-ish adventure fantasy stars Jack Wolfe as Tim Walker, who passes from school into the world of the opera and its many adventures as hero Prince Tamino. Wide releases may be picking up steam and Scream, but in terms of new specialty, and family fare, these isn’t much new competition this weekend.
Melissa Boag, EVP of Family Entertainment at Shout! Studios, hopes it will play with fans of magical adventure, Harry Potter, and classical music. Wolfe is a star of Netflix YA series Shadow & Bone. Co-star Amir Wilson is featured in the BBC and HBO series His Dark Materials. This is Shout! Studios widest release ever, she said.
F. Murray Abraham plays a crotchety headmaster. Also starring Iwan Rheon Stéfi Celma, Asha Banks Stefan Konarske, Niamh McCormack and Tedros Teclebrhan. Lots of good music, with French soprano Sabine Devieilhe (Opéra National de Paris), Mexican-French tenor Rolando Villazón, and U.S. bass Morris Robinson (Metropolitan Opera) among the ensemble cast. World premiered at the Zurich film festival.
This is a Harry Potter-ish adventure fantasy as Tim Walker (Jack Wolfe) passes from school to the world of the opera and its many adventures as its hero Prince Tamino. As wide releases pick up, this looks like the biggest specialty offering of Oscar weekend.
