New independent distributor DECAL has acquired worldwide rights to the comedy RIDE THE EAGLE. The film is directed by Trent O’Donnell (“New Girl,” “No Activity”) with a screenplay by O’Donnell and Jake Johnson (“New Girl,” Spider-Man into the Spider-Verse), who also stars alongside Susan Sarandon (Thelma & Louise, Dead Man Walking), J.K. Simmons (Whiplash, Juno) and D’Arcy Carden (“The Good Place,” “Barry”). DECAL, launched earlier this year, will release RIDE THE EAGLE in theaters, on demand and digital on July 30, 2021.

“In the midst of the pandemic, while missing everyone, Trent O’Donnell and I wanted to make a movie about people coming together,” said Jake Johnson. “We also want to introduce the greatest actor of our generation: my dog Nora.”

“We are beyond thrilled to be part of the WILD and wonderful world that is RIDE THE EAGLE,” said DECAL’s Ayo Kepher-Maat and Sara Castillo. “Jake Johnson and his equally lovable ensemble have crafted a surefire summer crowd-pleaser, and we’re delighted to bring this to audiences the world over.”
