Jon Stewart’s Directing Debut ‘Rosewater’ Scores Awards Season Release Date

[Ohio Joe]

Jon Stewart has already hosted the Oscars. Now he just might get to attend as a nominee.

“Rosewater,” “The Daily Show” host’s directorial debut, just landed a prime awards-friendly release date, positioning it for an awards campaign should the distributor decide to mount one.

The Open Road release lands in select theaters on November 7 and is based on BBC journalist Maziar Bahari’s 118 day-ordeal in Iran, during which he was tortured and imprisoned.

I looked around for a trailer but did not see one... This is one of those movies I kind of need to watch even though I'm not looking forward to it.

1. Little early for a trailer

But I expect we should see it soon.
I'm interested!

2. It made it possible for John Oliver to get his own show. For that I'd go see this even if it sucks!
