Lionsgate Acquires Alma Har’el’s ‘Wet’ Starring Connor Storrie, Rebecca Ferguson, Rosalía & More

Photo: Deadline

Lionsgate has acquired North America and UK distribution rights to "Wet," a film from writer-director Alma Har'el (Honey Boy, Lady in the Lake), from Fifth Season and 193, a Legendary Company. The cast includes Connor Storrie, Rebecca Ferguson, Odessa A'zion, Javier Bardem, Rosalía and Lukas Haas.

How the coverage differs

Deadline frames the deal as an exclusive, describes the film as "audacious," and identifies Alma Har'el and the cast through prior credits such as Honey Boy, Dune, Silo and Heated Rivalry. Variety lists the full cast, calling it "all-star," names Javier Bardem in its headline where Deadline names Rebecca Ferguson and Rosalía, and is the only outlet to note that production is set to begin in 2027. The Hollywood Reporter leads its headline with the film rather than Lionsgate, highlights Storrie, Ferguson and A'zion, and lists Bardem, Rosalía and Lukas Haas as additional cast without other context in the excerpt. All three report the same core facts: Lionsgate acquired North America and UK rights from Fifth Season and 193.
