  "summary": "Lionsgate has acquired the North American and UK distribution rights to the film \"Wet\" from Fifth Season and 193, a Legendary Company. Directed by Alma Har’el, who co-wrote the project with Christian Stangeby, the film is described by TheWrap as a \"wildly seductive, high-seas caper.\"\n\nThe cast includes Connor Storrie, Rebecca Ferguson, Odessa A’zion, Javier Bardem, Rosalia, and Lukas Haas. While specific plot details are being kept under wraps, Lionsgate Motion Picture Group chair Adam Fogelson stated that the script and package for the film are \"undeniable.\"\n\nProduction is slated to begin in the Dominican Republic in 2027, according to TheWrap.",
