Age has not stopped John Lithgow from keeping his career in full swing. He is 79 years old, but last year alone he appeared in several тιтles, including Conclave and The Old Man season 2. As such, this means that Lithgow has been in the industry for over half a century, having made his debut in 1972. In that time, he has been nominated for two Oscars, both for Best Supporting Actor (for The World According to Garp and Terms of Endearment). His career has spanned many genres over the course of time.
Over this long-lasting career, Lithgow has dabbled in horror several times. In 1983, Lithgow was in The Twilight Zone: The Movie, playing John Valentine. He was later in the John Travolta-led movie Blow Out, as well as 1992’s Raising Cain. More recently, Lithgow was in the Pet Sematary remake in 2019. Lithgow recently played a sinister and terrifying villain in another horror film, which has now gotten a streaming release date.

Our Take On The Rule Of Jenny Pen’s Streaming Release Date
There Are Other Notable Films Coming Out During Its Theatrical Release
Given how close The Rule of Jenny Pen‘s streaming release date is to its theatrical one, it will be interesting to see how much runway it can get at the box office. While the Lithgow film does not have much direct horror compeтιтion during its release weekend, that March 7 weekend is not without compeтιтion. Bong Joon Ho’s Mickey 17 releases March 7, along with the George R. R. Martin adaptation In the Lost Lands. For this reason, The Rule of Jenny Pen‘s profit could be threatened, but luckily, it will have a quick second chance on streaming.
