Lionsgate has announced that Americana, starring Halsey, will be released to theaters on August 22nd, two years after it made its premiere at South By Southwest Festival and scored 100% on Rotten Tomatoes.
The film also stars Sydney Sweeney, Paul Walter Hauser, Simon Rex, Eric Dane, and Zahn McClarnon as a gallery of dynamic characters clashing 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 (Sweeney) with big dreams to become a country singer in Nashville teams up with a lovelorn military veteran (Hauser) to gain possession of it, putting them in the crosshairs of a ruthless criminal (Dane) working on behalf of a Western antiquities dealer (Rex). Bloodshed ensues when others join the battle, including the leader of an indigenous group (McClarnon) and a desperate woman fleeing from her mysterious past (Halsey).
Lionsgate presents, a BRON Studios/Saks Pictures Company production, in association with Rhea Films and Hercules Film Fund/Creative Wealth Media.
The film is rated R for violence, language throughout, and some sexual references.
