Tubi
The Tubi original Western The Thicket stars Peter Dinklage as a bounty hunter hired to find the sister of a man named Jack (Levon Hawke) after she was abducted by bank robbers. Despite’s Jack’s efforts to pull together a gang of allies to help locate the young woman, the kidnappers prove to be much more dangerous and deadly than expected. The cast also includes Juliette Lewis, Metallica frontman James Hetfield, Leslie Grace and Esmé Creed-Miles.
Don’t Mess With Grandma (Jan. 24)
Tubi’s new original action comedy Don’t Mess With Grandma is a classic take on the inept hero story. When a drunk Army Ranger named JT (Michael Jai White) visits his sweet and completely oblivious grandmother at her remote cabin, he’s forced to take action when a group of armed robbers try to break in. As JT fends off the criminals, his Grandma remains wrapped up in her romance novel, blissfully unaware of all the vigilante justice being served around her. The film (which was previously known as Sunset Superman on the festival circuit) premieres on Jan. 24.
A Kill For A Kill (Jan. 17)
Tubi’s catalog of original thrillers now includes A Kill For A Kill, a movie about a deceptive motivational speaker who gets caught up in a dangerous and deadly game when a fan suggests they kill each other’s spouses. The film premieres on Jan. 17.
