Magnolia picks up Night Catches Us

Anthony Mackie and Kerry Washington from Tanya Hamilton's Night Catches Us.

Variety reports that Magnolia Pictures has picked up Night Catches Us from director Tanya Hamilton (I would link to the article, but Variety just put up this totally dickish paywall so you won't see it anyway). Magnolia is a solid distributor — they just did Mother, and have The Good Heart coming out on Friday and Casino Jack and the United States of Money next week — so expect a Philly release. No word on when that's happening, though. Night Catches Us, which premiered at this year's Sundance Film Fest, features Anthony Mackie (The Hurt Locker) as an ex-Black Panther who returns to Philadelphia in 1976, after a decade of exile.
