Lionsgate Locks Down 'Wet' With Javier Bardem, Rosalía, and Rebecca Ferguson
Alma Har'el's next film already has a major studio backing and a stacked cast.
Lionsgate just picked up distribution rights to Wet, the upcoming film from director Alma Har'el. The movie's got serious star power across the board—Javier Bardem, Rebecca Ferguson, Connor Storrie, Odessa A'zion, Rosalía, and Lukas Haas are all on the roster.
Har'el's been building momentum since her debut feature LoveTrue and the documentary Bombay Beach. She's the kind of director who brings real vision to her projects, so there's actual weight behind this one beyond just the names attached.
Right now the specifics on what Wet is actually about aren't in full public circulation, but having Lionsgate confident enough to acquire it before wide release says something. The studio clearly sees the finished product and likes what they got. With Bardem and Ferguson's track records plus Rosalía's crossover heat, this could be the kind of adult drama that actually finds an audience in theaters—rare move in 2024.
More details should surface soon as release plans take shape.
