If it’s not already reached us, the time is quickly approaching where memories, experiences, and events will be so thoroughly encoded into our gurus and gadgets that entire lives will be accessible at the push of a button. Aneesh Chaganty’s Searching thrives off of this inbound certainty, proving that technology can not only host a complete story, but provide its structure as well. This is not the first time a film’s been told exclusively on the stage of a computer screen, but Searching flips the growing genre on its head. As of now, it’s the best of its kind, but that hardly infers its greatness, especially since its only competition at the moment are two easy-to-forget horror flicks.
Though the young idea of the full-screen motion picture has not yet escaped its tacky feel, Searching excels and is founded on some of entertainment’s oldest and most celebrated pillars.

Chicago – Face it, fellow modernists, we live on our screens. It was inevitable that entire films would soon be set there, and the latest is “Searching.” Combining the nightmare of a missing teenager with the abilities of social media, cameras and devices, filmmakers Aneesh Chaganty and Sev Ohanian “screen it” to the max.
With the actions taking place all on screens, David Kim (John Cho) is a single Dad who is coping with the loss of his wife. His daughter Margot (Michelle La) seems to be a stable teen, until one night she doesn’t check in. Through circumstances, David doesn’t realize she’s missing until the next morning, and is assigned the detached Detective Vick (Debra Messing) when he goes to the police. The inaction of law enforcement frustrates him, so he begins to dig online for any clue to his daughter’s whereabouts. Pixel by digital pixel...

As the advances in technology go from strength to strength filmmakers are taking the opportunity to create movies through the eye of a computer screen; a trend which is becoming a lot more common. Mostly used to instill terror and violence in the bloodthirsty or supernatural form – most recently in the form of Unfriended – Aneesh Chaganty’s Searching plays on a more realistic theme. Raising the question of how well do we actually know our own children? And most importantly how safe are they on the dark world wide web and its social platforms?

Last week, one of the better films of the summer, and in fact, all of 2018, opened up in limited release. It’s the Sundance Film Festival alum Searching, poised to be another success story from Park City. More than just a strong Sundance flick, it’s a riveting mystery that also executes terrific family dynamics. You could be forgiven for thinking that it’s just another film that has a unique filmmaking style and nothing more. Folks, that couldn’t be further from the truth. Having everything take place on a computer screen is a bold choice, but it’s actually one that enhances the movie. It’s an under the radar gem, ladies and gentlemen. The film is a thriller, one with a well executed high concept, to boot. This is the plot synopsis from IMDb: “After David Kim (John Cho)’s 16-year-old daughter goes missing, a local...

“Crazy Rich Asians” is in for a second weekend worth bragging about, with an estimated $25 million from 3,526 North American sites.
The number would represent a decline of only 6% for the film, a staggering achievement for any movie, and particularly a rom-com. “Crazy Rich Asians” earned $26.5 million in its opening weekend, and estimates for its sophomore frame range from $23 million to $26 million. So far, the Constance Wu-starrer has earned $60 million worldwide, with about $1.2 million from foreign markets.
Warner Bros. has already launched development of a sequel for “Crazy Rich Asians,” which also stars Henry Golding, Michelle Yeoh, Awkwafina and Ken Jeong. Jon M. Chu directed from a screenplay by Peter Chiarelli and Adele Lim, based on the 2013 novel by Kevin Kwan.
Melissa McCarthy’s “The Happytime Murders,” on the other hand, is likely to debut at No. 3 with a moderate $10.1 million from 3,256 domestic sites. Should the estimate hold, “Happytime Murders...

Our chronic dependence on electronic devices and their ubiquitous availability have fully seeped into contemporary narrative: Since the audience navigates their daily conundrums and mundane tasks aided by screens, so do many characters in television and film. Today it’s not rare to see a text bubble pop up in a movie to let us in on a conversation happening via instant messages or for a Skype call to be a relevant plot point.
In first-time director Aneesh Chaganty’s groundbreaking digital mystery “Searching,” however, this practice is maximized to previously untapped extremes. Computer interfaces stop being a storytelling accessory; instead, they offer the entire field of vision. The silver screen mirrors the leading man’s desktop — and later all other gadgets used during his mission — as if connected via Hdmi cable.

Solving the case of a missing teen solely through the latest technology. It sounds like a gimmick that’s impossible to sustain over 90-plus minutes (remember 2015’s Unfriended?). But director Aneesh Chaganty, in an exceptional feature debut, does the impossible, building a high-voltage, white-knuckle thriller told almost exclusively through smartphones, laptop screens, browser windows and surveillance footage.
John Cho (yup, Kumar’s buddy Harold) excels as David Kim, a widower living in San Jose, California, whose 16-year-old daughter Margot (Michelle La) hasn’t come home or answered his texts. Has she been catfished,...

Aneesh Chaganty's first feature as director will inevitably suffer from comparisons to David Fincher's adaptation of Gillian Flynn's novel Gone Girl, and while it may be a draw for its unique-selling-point (the film's Pov is restricted entirely to computer and smartphone screens), it's hard to resist seeing this as something of a retread. Additionally, although actor John Cho makes for a strong and sympathetic leading man (and it's nice to see how far he's come since his 'Harold and Kumar' days), he's provided with a relatively perfunctory script and weak supporting cast. The film looks great for what it is, a kind of 'techno-thriller' for the 2010s, but take away the apps and the webcams, and you're left with a fairly standard whodunit mystery.

“I didn’t know her. I didn’t know my daughter.” Filled with dismay and desperation, this is the daunting realization that washes over John Cho’s David Kim in Searching. The newest mystery thriller from Sony Pictures initially premiered at this year’s Sundance Film Festival and follows David Kim in his search for Margot, his missing 16 year-old daughter. Using her laptop, David tracks Margot’s digital footprint, but as he uncovers increasingly inexplicable clues to her whereabouts, he starts to understand that things are not always what they seem to be.
Searching takes place entirely on a computer screen, an idea that was most notably explored in Blumhouse’s Unfriended in 2014, and in Noah, a 17-minute short film that was an official Short Cuts selection at the 2013 Toronto International Film Festival. Aneesh Chaganty makes his feature directorial debut with Searching, although he has a handful of writing and...

A new trailer has been released for Jon Cho's upcoming thriller Searching. The movie centers around a character named David Kim (Cho), whose 16-year-old daughter, Margot, goes missing. After a detective fails to find a single lead in her disappearance after 37 hours, David takes matters into his own hands.
David decides to search the one place no one has looked yet, where all secrets are kept today: his daughter’s laptop. In a hyper-modern thriller told via the technology devices we use every day to communicate, David must trace his daughter’s digital footprints before she disappears forever.

From the producer of Unfriended (Timur Bekmambetov) comes the brand new trailer for Sundance 2018 hit Searching, starring John Cho and Debra Messing.
Sony Pictures Worldwide Acquisitions acquired worldwide rights to the thriller at a reported $5 million after it’s debut at the festival.
After David Kim (John Cho)’s 16-year-old daughter goes missing, a local investigation is opened and a detective is assigned to the case. But 37 hours later and without a single lead, David decides to search the one place no one has looked yet, where all secrets are kept today: his daughter’s laptop. In a hyper-modern thriller told via the technology devices we use every day to communicate, David must trace his daughter’s digital footprints before she disappears forever.
The film was met with glowing reviews from Sundance earlier this year:

The trailer for Searching gives a look at a story told in an inventive way.
The thriller sees a father played by John Cho searching for his daughter, Margot (Michele La), 37 hours after she's gone missing. The action of the film takes place entirely on the screens of devices such as computers and smartphones as David Kim (Cho) goes through his daughter's laptop for clues and discovers that perhaps he doesn't know much about her life at all.
Aneesh Chaganty directed the film and wrote the script with Sev Ohanian. Debra Messing and Joseph Lee also star in the film, which earned <a...

For a second consecutive newfront, Hulu is announcing an Svod deal for broadcast’s No.1 new drama. The streaming service has closed a deal with Sony Pictures Television for exclusive Svod rights to ABC’s The Good Doctor. The complete first season of the series is now available on Hulu, and future episodes will become available the day after their original broadcast on ABC.
At last year’s event, Hulu announced a joint deal with NBC to share streaming rights to then-top new drama series This Is Us.
Another Sony TV drama hit, The Blacklist, previously sold to Netflix in a rich exclusive Svod deal. But under a new business model adopted by the broadcast networks a couple of years ago, they demand in-season stacking rights to their series, and for corporate siblings of Hulu — NBC, ABC and Fox — that also includes making “stacked” in-season episodes available on the streaming platform.

John Cho should be our next leading man. Above all else does the thriller Search, directed by Aneesh Chaganty, make this abundantly clear. Cho stars as David Kim, recently-widowed father of teenage daughter Margot (Michelle La) and doing his best to keep his composure. Opening on a heartfelt and heartbreaking montage of messages and moments as displayed on a computer screen, Chaganty establishes what will be the aesthetic of the picture.
We never leave the computer screen, following all action from Kim’s communication via Facetime, iMessage, Gmail, etc. When Margot goes missing, Kim enlists the help of an investigator (Debra Messing) to lead the search, while he frantically investigates her laptop. Written by Chaganty and Sev Ohanian, new information moves on screen like a bullet, speaking soundly to the tech hurricane we currently live in. Windows are dragged from left to right, minimized and maximized as David plays detective,...
