Returning to the big screen together, Leighton Meester and Adam Brody star in action thriller River Wild.

The first trailer for the upcoming film River Wild, featuring the longtime couple, who have been married since 2014, is now available. Adam and Leighton previously collaborated on the films The Oranges in 2011 and Life Partners in 2014.

Beginning in August 2023, Ben Ketai’s brand new PG-13-rated thriller will make its SVOD premiere on Netflix. To escape from their everyday life and see nature, the Hartman family takes a little vacation. For a canoe adventure along a river remote from civilization, they travel to the highlands for this reason.

They had no idea that their tour guides were a gang of thieves rather than tour agencies or locals specializing in guided tours. Their journey will unexpectedly become a nightmare as they struggle to escape their captors and the risks of the river.

Despite not earning specifically stellar reviews, The River Wild grossed approximately $94 million globally, based on a $45 million budget, and can be considered a moderate success. This is particularly true considering his pending vote.

A distribution deal between Netflix and Universal Pictures’ direct-to-video business, Universal 1440 Entertainment, includes acquiring the film from the streaming service.

Compared to the primary Universal branch, this subsidiary is usually known for producing films with lower budgets and for using Universal-owned intellectual property.
