American Star Trailer Is Out

IFC Films drop the official trailer for an assassin film called American Star, directed by Spanish filmmaker Gonzalo López-Gallego.

The title is actually a reference to big shipwreck called the "American Star", which really exists and can be found on the west coast of the Fuerteventura island in the Canary Islands – which is where this film was shot and it also takes place.

The film stars Ian McShane, Nora Arnezeder, Adam Nagaitis, Fanny Ardant, Oscar Coleman, Andres Gertrudix, and Thomas Kretschmann.

An assassin on final assignment arrives in Fuerteventura to kill a man he has never met. But the target is delayed. Instead of following protocol he stays, drawn to the island, the people and a ghostly shipwreck. When the target returns, the world has shifted. Before everything was simple, now nothing is.

The screenplay is written by Nacho Faerna. Produced by Michael Elliott and Ian McShane. The film is slated for 2024 release, with no clear date.
