The dynamic chemistry between the stars, paired with a suspenseful plot that keeps viewers on edge, is sure to make this thriller a standout film in 2025…
In a thrilling new project set to bring
together Hollywood heavyweights,
Madelyn Cline will star alongside Johnny
Depp and Penélope Cruz in *Day
Drinker*, an action-packed thriller from
Lionsgate. The film is directed by Marc
Webb, renowned for *The Amazing
Spider-Man* and *500 Days of Summer*
, and is being produced by Basil Iwanyk
and Erica Lee, the masterminds behind
successful franchises like *John Wick*
and *Sicario*. With such a talented team
at the helm, *Day Drinker* promises to
be a gripping cinematic experience.
The story centers on a cruise ship
bartender who crosses paths with a
mysterious day drinker, leading both
characters into a web of criminal
intrigue. As the plot unfolds, the two find
themselves bound by unexpected ties,
thrust into a dangerous world they never
imagined. The film promises to be an
edge-of-your-seat ride, blending mystery,
action, and a star-studded cast.
For Madelyn Cline, known for her
breakout role in Netflix’s *Outer Banks*,
this marks another major step in her
burgeoning career. Cline, 27, has already
proven her talent with roles in *Glass
Onion: A Knives Out Mystery* and is
now cementing her place in Hollywood
with her role in *Day Drinker*. Along
with this project, she also has two more
films lined up for 2025: the highly
anticipated sequel to *I Know What You
Did Last Summer* and *The Map That
Leads to You*, directed by Lasse
Hallström.
Johnny Depp, who has been relatively
absent from the big screen after his very
public legal battles with ex-wife Amber
Heard, returns to acting with *Day
Drinker*. Depp’s role as the enigmatic
day drinker will no doubt reignite his
career, as fans and critics alike are eager
to see him back in action. This will also
mark his first on-screen reunion with
Penélope Cruz since their collaboration
in *Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger
Tides* in 2011, following their earlier
appearance together in the crime drama
*Blow* (2001).
For Cruz, *Day Drinker* is another
exciting project after a brief hiatus from
Hollywood. The Oscar-winning actress
was last seen in *Ferrari* (2023), directed
by Michael Mann, and is also filming
*The Bride* under Maggie Gyllenhaal’s
direction. Cruz’s return to Hollywood is
generating buzz, and her partnership
with Depp in *Day Drinker* is sure to be
one of the most talked-about aspects of
the film.
Produced by Thunder Road, known for
its high-octane, action-packed films, *Day
Drinker* is shaping up to be a major
release. The film’s combination of star
power, thrilling plot, and the creative
talent behind it all suggests that it will be
a major hit when it hits theaters.
With a dynamic mix of mystery, danger,
and unexpected connections, *Day
Drinker* is one to watch, and the
reunion of Depp and Cruz adds even
more intrigue to an already star-studded
film. The chemistry between the leads,
combined with a plot that keeps
audiences guessing, will make this
thriller a must-see in 2025.
