Hulu on Thursday confirmed Deadline’s scoop during last month’s Toronto Film Festival that it has acquired Nutcrackers, the TIFF opening-night family holiday comedy from David Gordon Green that stars Ben Stiller.
It has also set a November 29, 2024 release date on Hulu, with the pic also set to stream internationally on Disney+. The reported eight-figure deal marked the first major sale at the festival, where it got a warm reception from audiences at its world premiere screening.
It repped Stiller’s first starring role in a feature film in seven years. Stiller plays a strait-laced and work-obsessed city slicker who is thrust into being a caregiver for his rambunctious, orphaned nephews on their family farm.
Linda Cardellini, Edi Patterson, Tim Heidecker and Toby Huss also star, as do newcomers and real-life siblings Homer, Ulysses, Atlas and Arlo Janson as the nephews. DEADLINE RELATED VIDEO: The film was shot on the brothers’ Ohio farm.
