And the big pics keep on comin’ to SXSW. This afternoon the festival made it known that the Alex Garland directed Civil War from A24 is making its world premiere on March 14 at the Paramount Theater in Austin, TX. This ahead of the movie’s wide release on April 12.
Civil War reps Garland’s return to SXSW following the 2015 North American Premiere of his directorial debut, Ex Machina. The action film follows a near-fractured America balanced on a razor’s edge. Sound familiar? Should raise hairs deep in the heart of Texas.

“Alex Garland’s Civil War is a gorgeous, haunting, and powerful piece of cinema unlike anything else you’ll find in a movie theater this year. It’s a wholly immersive experience that expertly blends large-scale spectacle with an intimate understanding of character and personal stakes brought to beautiful life by a stellar ensemble cast,” said Claudette Godfrey, VP Film & TV. “When the credits rolled on Civil War, we all looked at one another in a bit of shock, knowing full well Alex and A24 had delivered another masterpiece. We cannot wait for the world to discover this visionary work, and cannot imagine a better place for that to happen than at SXSW.”
Garland earned an Academy Award nomination for Best Writing and Original Screenplay for Ex Machina, and the film won an Academy Award for Best Achievement in Visual Effects. He also wrote and directed Annihilation and Men.
