Lemonade Blessing” (2025) revolves around the geeky teenager archetype we have seen plenty of times in American cinema. Think of Jason Schwartzman’s character from “Rushmore,” who falls in love with his teacher and naively believes that she is his soulmate. He is ready to go to any lengths, even if it means standing up against her partner. Anderson has made a career out of following similarly awkward and oftentimes socially reserved young characters who learn to grow out of their insecurities for love. Michael Cera and Jesse Eisenberg have played different shades of this exact character, whose social awkwardness often defines them.

Coincidentally, the star of “Lemonade Blessing,” Jake Ryan, comes from the Wes Anderson school of acting. After being in Anderson’s “Asteroid City” and “Moonrise Kingdom,” Ryan returns in a similarly zany comedy-drama as John Santucci, a socially inept teenager in constant crisis mode. He is a child of divorce,...

Starring Hermione Corfield (Sea Fever), Jake Ryan (Wolf Creek), John McConville (Elvis), Jacob Junior Nayinggul (High Ground), Arthur Angel (Red Dog) and Maximillian Johnson (High Ground), Fear Below is directed by Matthew Holmes (The Legend of Ben Hall) from a script he co-wrote with Gregory Moss (The Cost).

It’s gangsters versus bull sharks in the Australian outback of 1946. A team of professional divers in 1940’s Australia are hired to locate a sunken car in a river, who soon find their efforts are thwarted by a deadly bull shark hunting in the waters. When the divers discover they are working for ruthless criminals trying to recover their stolen gold bullion, the bank robbers prove to be as treacherous as what lurks beneath the surface.

Fear Below is available on Digital Platforms now and comes to DVD on 9 June, courtesy of Signature Entertainment.

“Lemonade Blessing” is a new ‘coming-of-age’ feature, written and directed by Chris Merola, starring Jake Ryan, Jeanine Serralles, Skye Alyssa Friedman, Miles J. Harvey, Michael Oloyede, Todd Gearhart and Keith William Richards, with distribution Tba:

“…freshly tossed into a private high school by his devout mother, ‘John’ falls head over heels for a devious classmate…

“…ready to push his morals to the brink with a series of increasingly uncomfortable actions, all in the name of love…”

Two genre-driven thrillers have surfaced on digital platforms this week, both released by Signature Entertainment. The first is Fear Below, a period-set aquatic survival film blending mid-century crime and nature horror, and the second is It Feeds, a supernatural possession story centred on generational trauma and unseen terror. Though markedly different in tone and style, both films mark distinctive entries in their respective subgenres, offering audiences immediate access to contemporary independent horror.

Fear Below, directed by Matthew Holmes, is set in 1946 and unfolds in the remote waterways of the Australian outback. A group of professional divers, hired under mysterious circumstances to recover a sunken vehicle, quickly learn that their true objective is not salvage work but the retrieval of stolen gold. The vehicle belonged to a group of bank robbers, now employing the divers to discreetly recover the wreckage. However, the waters they’ve entered are occupied by a territorial bull shark,...

In the typical shark horror film, unsuspecting swimmers are attacked in oceans by a great white shark, or at least something resembling one. But, in Matthew Holmes’ new film Fear Below, he’s tackling the even more dangerous bull shark as a group of criminals try to rescue their gold from a river. Yes, bull sharks can, in fact, swim in rivers. To celebrate the upcoming release, we have an exclusive clip from the film teasing just how aggressive this shark is.

In the film:

When a gang of ruthless criminals loses their stolen gold in a river, they turn to a team of desperate, down-on-their-luck divers to retrieve it. What begins as a high-stakes recovery mission quickly spirals when the divers soon find themselves in the company of a vicious bull shark, but the dangers in the water are only a fraction of the dangers that wait for them above.

Signature Entertainment has unveiled the UK trailer for Fear Below, a river-set horror thriller with teeth, set to sink its jaws into digital platforms and DVD from 9 June. Directed by Matthew Holmes (The Legend of Ben Hall) and starring Hermione Corfield (Sea Fever), the period-set chiller blends the sweat and steel of postwar noir with the cold-blooded menace of nature’s most efficient predator.

Set in 1946 in the rugged wilds of the Australian outback, Fear Below follows the Sea Dog Diving Company, a struggling outfit of professional divers hired to recover a sunken vehicle from the bottom of a murky river. But what should be a routine salvage job quickly descends into chaos, as the divers find themselves stalked by a female bull shark with a mean territorial streak and an appetite for warm flesh. The threat beneath the surface, however, is only part of the problem.

As the team...

"A bull shark is not just any fish." Blue Fox Ent. & Saban Films have revealed an official trailer for an indie shark movie horror-thriller called Fear Below, made by Oz filmmaker Matthew Holmes. Ready for release early this May and will hit theaters in addition to VOD right away. Set in 1946 Australia, a struggling team of divers from the Sea Dog Diving Company are hired to locate and retrieve a sunken car in a river. When their efforts are thwarted by a highly-aggressive female bull shark, the team soon discover they are working for a ruthless criminal gang attempting to recover their stolen gold bullion, who prove to be as treacherous as the beast lurking beneath the surface.

Prime Video's hit Reacher is in the middle of its third season. As with the previous seasons, the new outing brings a host of new main characters. One of these is rug importer Zachary Beck, who offers Reacher a job after he saves Beck's son Richard. Beck is played by Anthony Michael Hall, who's enjoyed a nearly 40-year career in the industry.

That's right, Gen-x readers, the 1980s were four decades ago. Take a minute to process that if you need to. Hall was one of that decade's biggest teen stars, with appearances in Sixteen Candles, The Breakfast Club, and Weird Science. He was a frequent collaborator with John Hughes, the king of '80s coming-of-age teen comedies. That partnership set Hall up for lifelong success, which is still an impressive feat in today's industry. Of those early parts, Sixteen Candles really gave Hall his breakout role. He followed that...

This article contains spoilers for "Reacher" Season 3.

One of the recurring aspects of "Reacher," apart from bad guys with short lifespans, is middlemen who get involved with the wrong people. In Season 3, this position is filled by Bizarre Bazaar CEO Zachary Beck, who has already seen his family suffer at the hands of his "business partner," Julius McCabe, formerly known as Xavier Quinn (Brian Tee). To make matters worse, all this corruption and illegal activity has caught the attention of DEA agent Susan Duffy (Sonya Cassidy), who, following a botched undercover operation, sends in our boy Jack Reacher (Alan Ritchson) to keep tabs on what's happening. After Reacher poses as potential muscle for the businessman, Beck's world soon gets turned upside down as traitorous activity begins to reveal itself, deals go south, and the bad guys closest to him end up very, very dead.

Understandably, it's a stressful situation to be in,...

The Territory trailer offers a glimpse at the new Netflix neo-Western. The upcoming Australian series, which was co-created by Ben Davies and Timothy Lee, follows the power vacuum that occurs when the patriarch of a powerful cattle family dies and various factions fight to take over Marianne Station. The cast of the show includes Michael Dorman, Robert Taylor, Sam Corlett, Sara Wiseman, Dan Wyllie, Clarence Ryan, Jay Ryan, Philippa Northeast, Tuuli Narkle, Tyler Spencer, Jake Ryan, and Mindhunter star Anna Torv.

Netflix has now unveiled the official trailer for Territory. The trailer introduces the premise of the show, as well as the various factions of people who will be fighting for control over the station, including family members, the Indigenous community, what looks to be a militaristic group of gangsters, and more. Although the characters and setting are Australian, the trailer reveals how the show is taking many of its...

About two months after adding new stars to Territory, the upcoming Yellowstone-like Australian series, Netflix has released a trailer for the production, which is set to premiere next month. The trailer showcases much of the shows main characters in action, including Anna Torv (The Last of Us) as Emily Lawson, Michael Dorman (For All Mankind) as Graham Lawson, Robert Taylor (Longmire) as Colin Lawson and Sam Corlett (Vikings: Valhalla) as Marshall Lawson. This bunch forms part of the Lawson family, who are apparently entitled to inherit the rights to Marianne Station, the worlds largest cattle station in Territory, following the death of Daniel Lawson (Jake Ryan), a major Australian cattle baron.

“Territory,” Netflix’s Down Under answer to “Yellowstone,” has unveiled a trailer ahead of its online premiere on Oct. 24. The series, previously known as “Desert King,” is headed by Anna Torv, star of “Mindhunter” and “The Newsreader,” and Michael Dorman.

The show is created by Timothy Lee and Ben Davies and has as its central premise an intense squabble for land.

An official synopsis reads: “When the world’s largest cattle station is left without a clear successor, generational clashes threaten to tear the mighty Lawson family apart. Sensing this once great dynasty is in decline, the outback’s most powerful factions – rival cattle barons, desert gangsters, Indigenous elders and billionaire miners – move in for the kill.”

The extensive supporting cast include: Robert Taylor, Sam Corlett, Sara Wiseman, Dan Wyllie, Clarence Ryan, Jay Ryan, Philippa Northeast, Joe Klocek, Kylah Day, Sam Delich, Hamilton Morris (“Sweet Country”), Tuuli Narkle, Tyler Spencer...

Writer/Director Luke Sparke (Occupation Rainfall, Bring Him To Me) is adapting author Ethan Pettus’ sci-fi military novel Primitive War, testing a military unit’s survival skills against an unlikely enemy: dinosaurs. A new poster and images have been released, introducing the human side of the equation.

The poster, along with images below, teases dino carnage and promises that Primitive War is arriving in 2025.

Jeremy Piven (“Entourage“, Old School), Tricia Helfer (“Battlestar Galactica”, “Lucifer”), Ryan Kwanten (“True Blood”, Glorious) and Nick Wechsler (“The Boys“) are set to headline Primitive War.

The official synopsis: “Vietnam. 1968. A search and rescue team known as Vulture Squad is sent to an isolated jungle valley to uncover the fate of a missing Green Beret platoon. As they hunt through the primordial depths of the valley, they discover ancient horrors that not only threaten to unravel their minds, but to end their lives as well. Dinosaurs have somehow been unleashed!

"The Mick" creators and "It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia" writers Dave and John Chernin made their feature directorial debut with "Incoming," a coming-of-age sex comedy for Netflix about a group of incoming freshmen attending their first high school party. It's a raucous, raunchy, ridiculous night of debauchery featuring a 14-year-old running a control room of spy cams, plenty of upperclassmen making the beast with two backs in random open bedrooms, a science teacher desperately trying to appear cool by taking shots of Fireball and ripping bongs with students, fist fights leading to broken noses, accidentally falling into a K-hole, running from the cops, and drunkenly sharting out a night's worth of Taco Bell binge-eating.

"Incoming" is an attempt to merge the tradition of beloved high school stories with the over-the-top screwball sex comedies of the 1970s and '80s, and when it works, it really works. Similar to recent high...

The surviving cast of Sixteen Candles have gone in many different directions since the release of the 1984 teen movie. Many members of the main cast are still acting, including prominent Brat Pack members Molly Ringwald and Anthony Michael Hall. Michael Schoeffling, who played love interest Jake Ryan, notably left Hollywood behind in the early 1990s.

The cast of Sixteen Candles has gone in many different directions since the movie premiered in 1984. The project was the directorial debut of iconic director John Hughes, who had previously written screenplays for movies including Vacation, Mr. Mom, and National Lampoon's Class Reunion. In addition to introducing one of the most iconic directors of the 1980s, the movie was a seminal Brat Pack movie, helping introduce several of the young actors who would dominate teen media for years to come.

Because the Brat Pack movie was filmed more than four decades before the time of writing,...

Vertical and Bren Foster will launch their new martial arts thriller “Life After Fighting” on June 7 in select theaters and on demand. This marks Foster’s feature debut as writer-director and is his first collaboration with producer Navid Bahadori under their newly formed production and distribution company, Spinning Plates.

According to an official logline, “In ‘Life After Fighting,’ the tranquil existence of Alex Faulkner (Foster), a former martial arts world champion, is shattered when the inexplicable vanishing of two young students from his martial arts school culminates in a shocking revelation that strikes close to his heart. As all avenues of hope seem to dwindle, Faulkner’s determination leads to the rescue of the imprisoned girls, revealing an insidious international child-trafficking ring, which ultimately leads to the fight of his life.”

Other cast members include Luke Ford (“Animal Kingdom”), Cassie Howarth (“NCIS: Sydney”), Anabelle Stephenson (“Tidelands”) and Jake Ryan (“The Great Gatsby...

Molly Ringwald appeared on Marc Maron’s “Wtf” podcast (via People magazine) and revealed that she’s tried to convince her 20-year-old daughter not to become an actor because of how difficult it is for young women in Hollywood. Ringwald, an icon of 1980s teen movies thanks to roles in “The Breakfast Club,” “Pretty in Pink” and more, said she was taken advantage of as a young actor — and that it’s nearly impossible not to be as a woman growing up in Hollywood.

“I never really felt like I was part of a community when I was in Hollywood, just because I was so young, really,” Ringwald said. “I wasn’t into going out to clubs. I feel like I’m more social now than I was then. I was just too young.”

“Well, you’re lucky you didn’t get taken advantage of or got into some sort of horrible situation,...

A spokesperson for the Roku Chanel, which released Chad’s second season, confirmed to Deadline that the streamer will not be proceeding with future seasons.

A star-stacked cast fails to rescue a dull script in Accidental Texan, based on the novel Chocolate Lizards. The predictable plot and forced pathos overshadow the endearing friendship between Erwin and Merle in the movie. The lack of excitement and forgettable conflict make Accidental Texan an easily overlooked movie.

Accidental Texan features impressive names — Rudy Pankow as Erwin Vandeveer, Thomas Haden Church as Merle Luskey, Carrie-Anne Moss as Faye, and Bruce Dern as Scheermeyer — but the star-studded cast isn't enough to bring life to the movie's dull script. The comedy-drama, directed by Mark Lambert Bristol and written by Julie B. Denny, is based on Cole Thompson's 1999 novel Chocolate Lizards. The film, which premiered at the Dallas International Film Festival in April 2023, tells the story of a city boy who unexpectedly ends up in a small Texas town following a series of unfortunate events.

"This acting, this was always your dream?" Roadside Attractions has revealed an official trailer for an indie comedy titled Accidental Texan, made by storyboard artist / filmmaker Mark Lambert Bristol. Obviously enough, this originally premiered at the 2023 Dallas Film Festival last year, with a stop at the Heartland Film Festival in Indiana as well. The film is adapted from a novel called "Chocolate Lizards", which was the original title for this before they changed it to Accidental Texan. Fresh-faced actor Erwin finds himself stranded in Texas after a film shoot gone wrong, where he's taken under the wing of a nearly bankrupt oil driller. They set off on a wild Texas adventure to outwit a corrupt oil company to hit pay dirt before Merle's dreams are foreclosed, partnering with a kind waitress along the way.

Abe is an old-school gangster, all about loyalty and honour. He also has dissociative identity disorder more commonly known as multiple personalities, and as he’ll mention shortly, he’s off his meds. He also tells us that Abe’s opponent is Frankie, a former member of his outfit who is now his rival for control of the city’s underworld. A rivalry that has turned bloody

A shark attack period piece, how ’bout that? Screen Daily reports this morning that Blue Fox Entertainment is launching sales on Fear Below at the upcoming American Film Market.

Blue Fox has worldwide sales rights on the film, which comes from Bronte Pictures.

Screen Daily reports, “Matthew Holmes directs the story of a team of professional divers in 1940’s Australia hired to locate a sunken car in a river whose efforts are thwarted by a deadly bull shark hunting in the waters.

“When the divers discover they are working for ruthless criminals trying to recover their stolen gold bullion, the bank robbers prove to be as treacherous as what lurks beneath the surface.”

Hermione Corfield (Sea Fever), Will Fletcher (The Rings Of Power), Jake Ryan (Wyrmwood: Apocalypse), Clayton Watson (Matrix Revolutions), Josh McConville (Elvis), Kevin Dee (Road To Boston), Sam Parsonson (Transfusion), Jacob Nayingul (Higher Ground), and Arthur Angel (The King’s Daughter) star.

Company to show first footage in Santa Monica.

Blue Fox Entertainment has acquired worldwide sales rights on Bronte Pictures’ shark thriller Fear Below and is launching talks with buyers at the AFM next week.

Matthew Holmes directs the story of a team of professional divers in 1940’s Australia hired to locate a sunken car in a river whose efforts are thwarted by a deadly bull shark hunting in the waters.

When the divers discover they are working for ruthless criminals trying to recover their stolen gold bullion, the bank robbers prove to be as treacherous as what lurks beneath the surface.

"Something happened, and he came back as a different person." Saban Films has revealed an official trailer for a crime thriller titled Kane from Australia, opening in the US soon this fall. Haven't heard much about this one, yet another mediocre crime thriller getting thrown into the "content" pile this year. Benny works for old school crime boss Abe, though Abe has multiple personalities and is in a gang war with the notorious Frankie. Kane is the deadliest of Abe's personalities, and the next 24 hours will be a killer. Today is a good day to die. "Kane is a gripping dark thriller that explores the blurred lines of loyalty and identity." The split personalities twist in this is so uninteresting, doesn't seem they know what to do with it. Kane stars Jeremy Lindsay Taylor, Jake Ryan, Clayton Watson, Nathan Phillips, Tammin Sursok, Holly Brisley, and Peter O'Hanlon as Big Stan.

Kane is an action thriller directed by Blair Moore, featuring a cast including Jeremy Lindsay, Jake Ryan, and Clayton Watson, known for his role in The Matrix Reloaded. The film explores the story of Benny, caught in a gang war between a crime boss named Abe and a rival leader named Frankie, as he questions his loyalty and potential betrayal. Kane delves into themes of identity, loyalty, and betrayal, with Benny being the character most likely to embody the film's message. The trailer suggests a fast-paced and thrilling ride.

The upcoming action thriller Kane is the latest project by Saban Films, the company behind movies like Nandor Fodor & The Talking Mongoose, Jay and Silent Bob Reboot, and Guns Akimbo. It’s the feature film directorial debut of Blair Moore, who began his career in entertainment as a promoter for Muay Thai boxing before branching into other avenues. Moore’s practiced eye for visceral action,...

Wes Anderson's "Asteroid City" will be available to stream very soon. The director, known for quirky comedies starring an endless rotation of his A-list actor friends, from Bill Murray to Tilda Swinton ("Moonrise Kingdom"), debuted his latest film in theaters in June. Now, audiences will be able to enjoy it from the comfort of their homes.

The full trailer for "Astroid City" dropped back on March 29, revealing the period comedy that takes place in a 1950s desert town about to be rocked by an otherworldly event that could change everything. The movie preview offered clues about the film's characters, with Scarlett Johansson taking on the role of a '50s-era movie star and Tom Hanks serving as the disapproving father of Jason Schwartzman's character's late wife (who dies three weeks before the movie starts). And, of course, the film features Anderson's trademark vibrant coloring and dry comedy.

Wes Anderson is one of the rare filmmakers whose style is a genre in itself. Similar to directors like Quentin Tarantino or David Fincher, his style is so distinctive that even those who don’t appreciate his aesthetics have to acknowledge how unique they are. Anderson may be easy to mock because of his popularity among younger filmgoers, but his track record up until now has been rock solid. After 11 films and several short projects, Anderson has yet to produce a bad movie.

It’s interesting to see how Anderson has matured with his later films, as each film represents a different step within his growth. Rushmore and Bottle Rocket are definitely coming-of-age stories, but Fantastic Mr. Fox, The Royal Tenenbaums, and The Life Aquatic With Steve Zissou all represented moments where Anderson was reflecting upon his past and the nature of family. His later films grew more deliberately political...

‘Asteroid City‘ is directed by Wes Anderson and stars Jason Schwartzman, Scarlett Johansson, and Tom Hanks, among others.

This film is all about style, and more than just style: it’s a powerful statement of style that encapsulates a seemingly trivial yet insightful and intuitive message.

Some say that only fools like Wes Anderson, but I must confess that this retro fable about nothing has delighted me.

Movie Review

Just based on the visuals, the Looney Tunes-inspired treatment, the framing, and the entire parody of cinema within cinema, ‘Asteroid City’ is worth it. And when I say it’s worth it, I mean that you haven’t seen anything like it, including other films by the director. Whether we like it or not, the cinematography is daring, brutally stylish, and brilliant, in a way that only Wes Anderson can achieve.

Is Wes Anderson copying himself? Definitely, and Wes Anderson...
