Breathe: release date, trailer, cast and everything we know about the Jennifer Hudson sci-fi movie
It's the end of the world for Jennifer Hudson and her family in the 2024 new movie Breathe, but apparently, they are not as alone as they thought. The sci-fi movie is part of the spring movie lineup, and we've got everything you need to know about it right here.
The movie comes from emerging director and screenwriter, Stefon Bristol and Doug Simon respectively. Bristol's lone feature credit to date is the Netflix movie See You Yesterday, directing the movie, while Simon who wrote the Breathe script, hasn't produced a screenplay since 2015. But while those names may be unfamiliar to general moviegoers, there are plenty of names you'll recognize on screen and in a story that should pique many people's interests.
