History[]
In May 2019, Solstice Studios announced Russell Crowe would star in Carl Ellsworth's thriller film, Unhinged. Principal photography took place in New Orleans from July 15 to August 23, 2019.[3] It was released in the United States on August 21, 2020.[4] The first film to receive a wide theatrical release in the midst of the COVID-19 pandemic, it grossed $44 million worldwide.[5]
Solstice Studios announced a partnership with Studio 8 in November 2019, with Robert Rodriguez's Hypnotic as their first joint-project. Ben Affleck has been cast to star in the film.[6] Affleck will play a "detective investigating a series of impossible high-end heists who becomes entangled in a mystery involving his missing daughter and a secret government program". Production was set to begin April 2020, but delayed due to the pandemic.[7]
In September 2020, the studio acquired the distribution rights to the Mark Wahlberg drama film Joe Bell for $20 million.[8]
