Dan Stevens’ ‘Summer in February’ gets indie release

Dan Stevens — who bravely left the smash series “Downton Abbey” to embark on a movie career — has a number of high-profile projects in the works. But his latest film, the indie “Summer in February,” is not one of them.

It’s playing in just a handful of theaters in such select markets as St. Johnsbury, Vt.; Gloucester, Mass.; and Beaufort, SC.

But Robert De Niro and Jane Rosenthal’s Tribeca Film have simultaneously released the movie about English painter Sir Alfred Munnings on iTunes, Amazon and Vudu.

Stevens will make his Hollywood studio screen debuts in “A Walk Among the Tombstones” with Liam Neeson and “The Cobbler” with Adam Sandler and Dustin Hoffman later this year.
