Release dates for 'Before Midnight', 'I'm So Excited', and Woody Allen's 'Blue Jasmine'


Grab your smartphone and fire up the calendar app, because Sony Pictures Classics has nailed down some release dates for three of this year's most anticipated films.

First up, Richard Linklater, Julie Delpy, and Ethan Hawke's Before Midnight is set to arrive in New York and Los Angeles on May 24th. The film continues the nearly two decade-long romance of Jesse and Celine. You can check out my spoiler-free review of it here.

Pedro Almodovar's airline comedy I'm So Excited has landed a June 28th date, also in LA and New York before going wide. Penelope Cruz, Antonio Banderas, Paz Vega, and Celia Roth lead the ensemble in a story that follows a group of passengers who go a little nutso after an accident on their flight.

And finally, Woody Allen's latest international rom-com Blue Jasmine will open on July 26th in limited release. Starring Cate Blanchett, Alec Baldwin, Louis C.K., Bobby Cannavale, Andrew Dice Clay, Peter Sarsgaard, and Sally Hawkins, it centers on an acute crisis involving a fashionable New York housewife.
