“Kodachrome” movie to debut on Netflix April 20
The long-delayed “Kodachrome“ movie – starring Ed Harris, Jason Sudeikis, and Elizabeth Olsen – finally debuts on Netflix on April 20th.
The story is loosely based on A.G. Sulzberger’s 2010 New York Times article titled, “For Kodachrome Fans, Road Ends at Photo Lab in Kansas.” Here’s the synopsis:
Struggling A&R executive Matt (Jason Sudeikis) finds his world turned upside down when his estranged father’s nurse (Elizabeth Olsen) shows up unexpectedly in his office. Matt’s father, a famed bad-boy photojournalist (Ed Harris), is facing terminal cancer and his dying wish is for Matt to join him on a road trip from New York to Kansas to process his last rolls of Kodachrome film before the sole remaining lab closes and those captured moments are gone forever. Kodachrome tells the story of three damaged people coming to terms with themselves, each other, and a world swiftly changing from analog to digital.
Here’s the trailer below:
Let’s hope this is a better photography-themed article than Robin Williams’ “One Hour Photo”!
