In other release date news, Will Smith’s drama Concussion has been slated to hit theaters on Christmas Day 2015.
The film will star Smith as Dr. Bennet Omalu, a forensic neuropathologist who was responsible for the first discovery of football-related brain trauma in a professional player and fought for public awareness.
“In his search for the truth behind the devastating malady, Omalu’s quest humanizes the price paid by professional athletes in impact sports but also by people who challenge the status quo as it exposes the political, cultural and corporate interests that fuel the business of sports,” Sony said in a press release.
