The trailer for Magazine Dreams is finally here, giving us an intense look at the long-awaited sports drama starring Jonathan Majors. Written and directed by Elijah Bynum, the film follows Majors as Killian Maddox, an amateur bodybuilder driven by an all-consuming desire to achieve greatness. The trailer offers a haunting glimpse into Maddox’s world, showing his relentless quest to become a legend in the fitness world. From brutal workouts to raw emotional moments, it captures the heavy physical and mental toll of his ambition. “You have to do something big and important, or no one will remember you when you’re dead,” Killian says, setting the tone for his gripping fight for recognition.
Magazine Dreams has had a rocky road to release, with delays caused by legal issues involving its lead actor. But after a well-received premiere at Sundance, the film finally found a home with Briarcliff Entertainment. The company picked up the rights last year, praising its bold storytelling and Jonathan Majors’ powerful performance. Majors takes on the role of Killian, a character who pushes his body to its limits while battling intense inner struggles. The film dives into themes like ambition, isolation, and the need for connection, showing the sacrifices and loneliness that often come with chasing greatness.
Set to hit theaters on March 21, Magazine Dreams is the latest major release from Briarcliff Entertainment. “The film is a visceral experience that challenges how we think about ambition and identity,” says Briarcliff CEO Tom Ortenberg. After successes like The Apprentice, the company is bringing Killian Maddox’s haunting yet gripping story to audiences across the country. With its upcoming release, Magazine Dreams aims to deliver a deeply personal story while shedding light on the societal pressures that push people to their limits. Whether you’re a fan or new to this kind of storytelling, this powerful sports drama promises an unforgettable movie experience.
