Sydney Sweeney is now one of the biggest new Hollywood stars and it turns out a neo-Western movie she shot in early 2022 is only just getting released.
Originally debuting at the 2023 South by Southwest Film & TV festival, Americana was acquired by Lionsgate and only hit US theatres this past August.
Skipping UK cinemas, the new Coen Brothers-esque crime thriller has gone straight to streaming in Britain this month.
The film’s synopsis reads: “A gallery of dynamic characters clash over the possession of a rare Native American artifact in this wildly entertaining modern-day Western. After the artifact falls onto the black market, a shy waitress with big dreams (Sydney Sweeney) teams up with a lovelorn military veteran (Paul Walter Hauser) to gain possession of it, putting them in the crosshairs of a ruthless criminal (Eric Dane) working on behalf of a Western antiquities dealer (Simon Rex). Bloodshed ensues when others join the battle, including the leader of an indigenous group (Zahn McClarnon) and a desperate woman fleeing her mysterious past (Halsey).”
Americana is streaming now to buy for £9.99 on Amazon Prime Video, Apple TV+ and more.
