Sony Debuts ‘Lyle, Lyle Crocodile’ Footage, Aaron Taylor-Johnson Intros ‘Bullet Train’ – CineEurope
deadline.comAmong studios, Sony was first up with its presentation here at CineEurope in Barcelona which kicked off on Monday. “As an industry, we are anything but done,” declared Sony Pictures International Releasing’s President Steven O’Dell at the top of the show.
The studio is coming off of its most ambitious six-month slate ever, which it began rolling out in the fall and wrapped up with the $1.9B worldwide smash Spider-Man: No Way Home, and the January hit Uncharted.

This was new footage that had not been seen at CinemaCon in April. Will Speck and Josh Gordon are directing the pic for release this fall.
