'Chevalier' Pushed Back Two Weeks For Theatrical Release

Fans eager to catch Chevalier in theaters will have to wait just a little bit longer.

Searchlight Pictures announced earlier this week that the historical drama has been pushed back from April 7 to April 21, in theaters.

There was no real reason as to why the delay. However, due to it, Searchlight has also released a handful of new images from the flick.

Inspired by the incredible true story of composer Joseph Bologne, Chevalier de Saint-Georges, played by Kelvin Harrison, Jr., the movie will center on the title musician, the illegitimate son of an African slave and a French plantation owner.

Through perseverance, he rises to improbable heights in French society as a celebrated violinist-composer and fencer, complete with an ill-fated love affair and a falling out with Marie Antoinette (Lucy Boynton) herself and her court.

Samara Weaving, Ronke Adekoluejo, Marton Csokas, Alex Fitzalan, and Minnie Driver will also star.
