If I wanted to play a really mean April Fools Day joke, I would announce that, after getting thoroughly booed at Cannes last year and suffering from some of the worst word-of-mouth in cinematic history, Gus Van Sant’s The Sea Of Trees has finally gotten an American release date.
But I’m not mean and I’m not going to play that joke on you.
Instead, I’m going to tell you that not only is Van Sant’s Sea of Trees never going to be released in the U.S. but that the script is also currently being reshot by Terrence Malick…
April Fools!
Bleh, what a stupid holiday.
Anyway, the truth of the matter is that Sea of Trees still does not have an American release date but it will be released in Europe later this month. Eventually, if nothing else, Sea of Trees will make it to Netflix and we’ll get to discover what everyone was booing about in Cannes.
Here’s the international trailer!

Lisa! You may have stumbled upon a solution! If they release the film in the USA with those subtitles, we’ll all be forced to assume it’s yet another enigmatic Japanese masterpiece. … Viola!
