What people are saying
The script and package for Wet are undeniable. With Alma at the helm, we cannot wait to get in the water with this unbelievably talented group of people, both in front of and behind the camera.
Lately, I’ve had to find humor in chaos and humanity in the most unpredictable situations. I’m grateful to Lionsgate for embracing a film that speaks to this wild moment in time. I’m incredibly excited to bring this remarkable group of actors together and make a film that refuses to behave.
