One of the movies everyone was talking about at this year’s Sundance Film Festival was “Thelma,” starring June Squibb as an unlikely 94-year-old action hero. You’ll be able to meet “Thelma” soon, as Magnolia has acquired the North American rights to the movie in a competitive situation with multiple offers following its Sundance debut.
“Thelma” stars Squibb in her first leading role, as the title character, a grandmother who gets conned by a phone scammer pretending to be her grandson (Fred Hechinger) and sets on an action-packed odyssey across Los Angeles to reclaim what is hers.
The film also features the final performance from the legendary Richard Roundtree, who plays Thelma’s friend who accompanies her on her journey.
