Martin Scorsese’s Silence will fall in December
Martin Scorsese’s long-awaited Silence will finally be hitting theaters at the end of this year. Paramount confirmed to The A.V. Club that the studio has set a limited release date of December 23 for the film about 17th-century Jesuit priests who go to Japan during a period wherein Christians were not permitted to practice openly. It will then go into wide release come January. So, yes, if you care about the Oscar race, this does mean that the never-to-be-counted out director will have a horse in it.
