The original action-adventure journeys deep into an uncharted and treacherous land where fantastical creatures await the legendary Clades, a family of explorers whose differences threaten to topple their latest—and by far— most crucial mission.

According to director Don Hall, “Strange World” is a nod to pulp magazines—popular fiction from the first half of the 20th century that was printed on inexpensive wood pulp paper.

“I loved reading the old issues of pulps growing up,” he said. “They were big adventures in which a group of explorers might discover a hidden world or ancient creatures. They’ve been a huge inspiration for ‘Strange World.’”

Helmed by Hall (Oscar®-winning “Big Hero 6,” “Raya and the Last Dragon”) and co-director/writer Qui Nguyen (co-writer “Raya and the Last Dragon”), and produced by Roy Conli (Oscar®-winning “Big Hero 6,” “Tangled”), “Strange World” releases BOXING DAY, 2022.

Seriously Red stars Rose Byrne (Bridesmaids, Insidious, Spy, Neighbors), Krew Boylan (Primal), Bobby Cannavale (Boardwalk Empire, Blue Jasmine) and Daniel Webber (The Dirt, Escape From Pretoria).

Currently in post-production, Seriously Red first look shows a dolled-up Boylan (Red) gazing at Bobby Cannavale (Wilson). Scripted by Krew Boylan, the film features music by Dolly Parton and many others and is scheduled for theatrical release in 2022.

Red (Boylan) is a vivacious and at times misguided red-head who pours herself a cup of ambition and trades her 9 to 5 career in real estate, for a life under the spotlight as a Dolly Parton impersonator. On her journey to success, Red has to lose herself in order to find herself because as Dolly Parton says, “Be yourself because everyone else is taken’.”

Director Gracie Otto said, “Seriously Red embodies so much of what I love about cinema, culture and music.”

“We have all worked incredibly hard, filmmaking is no walk in the park (especially during a pandemic) but we are stronger for it and I love my team and the ‘happening’ a film creates. It will always occupy a special corner of my heart” said writer and lead actor, Krew Boylan.

Seriously Red is produced by Jessica Carrera, Timothy White (I am Mother), Sonia Borella (Go!) and Robyn Kershaw (Bran Nue Dae). Executive Producers include Rose Byrne (Bridesmaids, Insidious, Spy, Neighbors), Danny Nozell (Dumplin’), Jack Christian and Deanne Weir.
