American Star is a 2024 drama thriller film from director Gonzalo López-Gallego, from a screenplay by Nacho Faerna. Filming took place in the famous Canary Islands of Spain, a popular tourist destination.
An assassin (Ian McShane) on final assignment arrives in Fuerteventura to kill a man he has never met. But when the target is delayed, instead of following protocol he stays; drawn to the island, the people, and a ghostly shipwreck. When the target returns, the world has shifted. Before everything was simple- now nothing is.
The cast includes Ian McShane, Nora Arnezeder, Thomas Kretschmann, Adam Nagaitis, and Fanny Ardant.
American Star is set to debut in theaters January 26th, courtesy of IFC Films. Watch the official trailer below.
