Lionsgate has released the trailer for an indie ensemble comedy film titled Americana, which stars Sydney Sweeney as a shy waitress and Paul Walter Hauser as a military vet.
In the film, “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 (Sweeney) teams up with a lovelorn military veteran (Hauser) to gain possession of it, putting them in the crosshairs of a ruthless criminal working on behalf of a Western antiquities dealer.
“Bloodshed ensues when others join the battle, including the leader of an indigenous group and a desperate woman fleeing her mysterious past.”
It looks like an interesting an quirky little movie, but it’s been sitting on the shelf for two years, so that’s not a good sign.
The film’s cast also includes Halsey, Simon Rex as an antiquities dealer, Eric Dane as a ruthless criminal, and Zahn McClarnon as the leader of an indigenous group.
Americana is written and directed by Tony Tost, making his feature directorial debut and it will be released in theaters on August 22nd, 2025.
