Sydney Sweeney Shines in Gritty New ‘Americana’ Trailer: A Bold Dive into the Wild West

The much-anticipated Americana trailer starring Sydney Sweeney has finally dropped. The film can be described as a neo-Western grit with modern-day intrigue. Westerns are all the rage right now made more popular by shows like Yellowstone and its spinoffs 1883 and 1923. Now Lionsgate is getting in on the action with Americana.

A Riveting Look at the American Frontier Reimagined

From the first few seconds of the trailer, it’s clear Americana is not your average Western. Directed by Tony Tost in his feature debut, the film follows a group of interesting people as they fight over a Native American artifact set against the rugged backdrop of the modern-day American West. Sydney Sweeney stars as Penny Jo Poplin, a waitress who gets caught up trying to get her hands on the artifact.

Sydney Sweeny is known for her television role on the HBO hit Euphoria led by Zendaya. Both ladies have been busy filming movies so that explains the delay in the new season. This new project of Sweeny’s does look intriguing. Take a look for yourself.

Featuring a stellar cast including Paul Walter Hauser, Halsey, and Eric Dane, the film is already generating significant critical interest. The film is scheduled to premiere in 2025 and debuted at SXSW with positive early reviews. Behind the scenes: the film is produced by Bron Studios, known for the Joker and Bombshell films. After the drop at SXSW, Lionsgate obtained the rights to distribute the film.
