A family trip down to the river they said. It will be peaceful and provide closure they also said. No chance…
Led by Christian Madsen, brothers Duffy (Madsen), Gus (Ryan Carnes) and Pete (Owen Burke), accompanied by partners and children, head down to a contained village of sorts to spread the ashes of their father (Michael Madsen) across the mountain river where their childhoods remain linked. For Pete, however, his return to the river is more of a Ptsd trigger than brotherly reminise. During childhood, Pete was abducted, and when taller brother Duffy brings his child – who is later abducted – history begins to repeat itself.
The brothers, predictably, are not alike whatsoever – Duffy slightly rugged and successful,...

In today’s film news roundup, Sony moves James Gunn’s horror movie, Craig Sheffer gets a supernatural role, “Best Thanksgiving Ever” gets a release and Annapurna signs a music publishing deal.
Date Change
Sony has moved the previously untitled James Gunn horror project “BrightBurn” back from Nov. 30 of this year to May 24, 2019 — the start of the Memorial Day weekend.
The studio unveiled the name “BrightBurn” on Monday along with the date change. Gunn produced the project with The H Collective. “BrightBurn” stars Elizabeth Banks, Jackson Dunn, David Denman, Meredith Hagner, and Matt Jones. Gunn’s brother Brian Gunn and cousin Mark Gunn wrote the script, with David Yarovesky directing.
Gunn had been set to appear on a panel to discuss the project at San Diego Comic-Con in July, but his appearance was canceled after news broke that Disney had fired Gunn as director of “Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3” due to offensive tweets.
