Lionsgate acquires Alma Har'el's star-packed film 'Wet'

Lionsgate has just grabbed the rights to distribute director Alma Har'el's new movie "Wet," according to reports from The Hollywood Reporter and TheWrap. The studio will handle the film's release in North America and the UK.

Har'el herself co-wrote the screenplay with Christian Stangeby, but exactly what the film is about remains a secret. TheWrap, however, did describe it as a "wildly seductive, high-seas caper."

The ensemble cast is stacked with notable names. Per the reports, the film features Connor Storrie, Rebecca Ferguson, Odessa A'zion, Javier Bardem, Rosalia, and Lukas Haas.

Filming won't kick off for a few years. The project is slated to start production in the Dominican Republic in 2027, according to The Hollywood Reporter.

Har'el shared a statement about the project reported by TheWrap, saying she aims to "find humor in chaos" and is excited to make "a film that refuses to behave." Lionsgate Motion Picture Group chair Adam Fogelson, also via TheWrap, called the script and package "undeniable."
