Sony Pictures Classics has announced the On Swift Horses release date for the upcoming drama starring Daisy Edgar-Jones (Normal People) and Jacob Elordi (Euphoria). The film is based on Shannon Pufahl’s 2019 novel of the same name.
“The film follows Muriel and her husband Lee as they are beginning a bright new life in California upon Lee’s return from the Korean War. But their newfound stability is upended by the arrival of Lee’s charismatic brother, Julius, a wayward gambler with a secret past,” reads the synopsis. “A dangerous love triangle quickly forms. When Julius takes off in search of the young card cheat, he’s fallen for, Muriel’s longing for something more propels her into a secret life of her own, gambling on racehorses and exploring a love she never dreamed possible.”
When is the On Swift Horses release date?
Following its world premiere at the 2024 Toronto International Film Festival, On Swift Horses will finally arrive in theaters on April 25, 2025. Its theatrical release date will pit the film directly against Ben Affleck’s The Accountant 2 and the horror thriller Until Dawn. It will also be debuting in the same month as high-profile movies like A Minecraft Movie, The Amateur, Warfare, and Sinners.
The adaptation is directed by Daniel Minahan (Fellow Travelers) from a screenplay written by Bryce Kass. Joining Edgar-Jones and Elordi are Will Poulter (Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3) as Lee, Diego Calva (Babylon) as Henry, Sasha Calle (The Flash) as Sandra, and Don Swayze as Terence. The film is produced by Peter Spears, Mollye Asher, Tim Headington, and Theresa Steele Page for Ley Line, with FirstGen Conent’s Michael D’Alto also producing. Executive producers are Kass, Alvaro Valente, Christine Vachon, Pamela Koffler, Nate Kamiya, David Darby, Randal Sandler, Claude Amadeo, Chris Triana, Jennifer Westphal, and Joe Plummer.
