2019 Sundance Film Festival Predictions: #92. Untitled Noah Baumbach Comedy

Published on November 23, 2018

While Netflix held off at showing the pic during the fall season, there is no reason to think that they won’t premiere in early 2019 on their second collab with Noah Baumbach after landing The Meyerowitz Stories (New and Selected). Currently untitled, production began in March of 2018 and managed to lasso the likes of Scarlett Johansson, Adam Driver, Ray Liotta, Laura Dern and more importantly, re-teaming with cinematographer Robbie Ryan.

Gist: The story follows an unfolding divorce that spans from New York City to Los Angeles.

Production Co./Producers: Noah Baumbach, David Heyman.

Prediction: Premieres.

U.S. Distributor: Netflix.
