Familiar faces returned to Poguelandia on Saturday. As the cast and crew of “Outer Banks” celebrated the premiere of Season 4 Part 2 at a fan event in Santa Monica, some of the stars also teased future projects.

Chase Stokes will be seen starring as a U.S. Army tech specialist in the action thriller “Valiant One.” “My character isn’t your traditional soldier,” Stokes told Variety. “He’s somebody who’s working at a desk on a base and gets put into a very unconventional situation for himself. So it’s a little bit of a hero’s journey.”

He discussed the parallels between his “Valiant One” character and Glen Powell’s portrayal of Gary Johnson in “Hit Man.” While both actors play unassuming characters thrust into combat roles, Stokes shared his interest in working in a creative capacity behind the camera as well.

“[Glen Powell] being somebody who was a writer on ‘Hit Man...

I don’t often consider myself a fan of racing movies as they can feel a bit samey. Every now and then something comes along that shows a little uniqueness, but they feel few and far between. While One Fast Move certainly isn’t breaking any new story ground, I was surprised at how much its focus is on the people and their relationships with each other versus simply racing. Don’t get me wrong, the racing is great when they actually show it. But the primary focus being the relationships formed versus simply the race itself helps to make the stakes feel more grounded. A lot easier to relate to estranged family members reconnecting than someone just being really competitive and wanting to win.

I was able to talk to stars Kj Apa, Eric Dane, Edward James Olmos and Maia Reficco about the film and all of the stuntwork it entailed.

Kelly Blatz takes the reins as both writer and director for the motorcycle racing drama One Fast Move. Steering a cast of K.J. Apa and Eric Dane into the fast lane, the film follows former soldier Wes Neal as he searches for purpose on the open road. Wes finds himself drawn to the high-octane world of competitive racing, following in the footsteps of his estranged father, Dean Miller. Yet what appears to be a tale of father-son bonds and championship dreams quickly loses its way.

While Blatz shows a flair for vividly portraying the athleticism of the sport, his characters struggle to leave the pits. From its outset, One Fast Move seems poised to explore the complex relationships and gritty reality that lie beneath a streamlined surface. But the script neglects the deeper development of its people and their perspectives. Generic training scenes and formulaic conflict replace meaningful insight. Wes and Dean remain largely one-dimensional,...

Kj Apa shared with The Direct how his latest film, Amazon MGM Studios’ One Fast Move, helped him move onto a new era of his career.

The film follows Apa’s Wes Neal, who, after serving prison time for a street racing stint, looks to find a new purpose in his life. He decides it best to track down his father, Eric Dane’s Dean Miller (who left when Wes was six years old) to start a career in motorcycle racing.

Along the way, Wes also meets Reficco’s Camila, a local girl who quickly clicks with the newfound racer. However, both may be hiding crucial details about themselves from the other.

Directed by Kelly Blatz and starring K.J. Apa and Eric Dane, One Fast Move is the redemption story of a discharged soldier who took up professional motorcycle racing. Wes Neal was in military prison for six months after he was challenged to a street race for money. He decided to race professionally after his release. He had always been passionate about racing, and now that he had no choice, he decided to take the chance. With only a few dollars to his name, Wes drove to Austin in search of his estranged father, Dean Miller. He was a motorcycle racer, and he had dedicated twenty-five years of his life to his craft. Wes had no expectations from his father; he simply wanted his old man to help him enter a race. So let’s explore of the events of the film and One Fast Move’s ending.

Spoiler Alert

What...

“One Fast Move” is an action movie written and directed by Kelly Blatz starring K.J. Apa. With Eric Dane, Maia Reficco and Edward James Olmos.

Arriving quietly on Prime Video, “One Fast Move” brings with it a nostalgic flavor reminiscent of classic storytelling: a heartfelt narrative of a father-son bond forged through their mutual love for motorcycles.

Set in the vibrant backdrop of the eighties, this film perfectly encapsulates the era with scenes of characters smoking and jotting down phone numbers on paper napkins—a true throwback to simpler times.

Plot

Upon his release from prison, a military veteran returns to his roots to reconnect with his estranged father, a seasoned motorcycle racing veteran. Together, they rekindle their dream of competing in the professional motorcycle racing circuit.

About the film

“One Fast Move” exudes the essence of retro cinema, harking back to the multitude of films produced in the eighties...

How far are you willing to go to prove yourself? That’s what Wes Neal must ask himself in “One Fast Move,” the motorcycle racing movie premiering on Prime Video on Thursday, Aug. 8. Wes is an ex-military man who wants to try his hand at making racing a real career, but a reunion with his father shows that making a life for himself in racing will be as challenging as healing old wounds. You can stream the movie with a 30-Day Free Trial of Amazon Prime Video.

One Fast Move is an example of young adult star-driven streaming cinema, a recycled effort of substandard films from a generation before. The K.J. Apa vehicle is tweaked just enough to look and feel different, but unless you are a dedicated cinephile—or a diehard fan of the genre of motorcycle films—you won’t recognize it.

No, One Fast Move is far from the original. It’s a direct rip-off of a series of biker films made over twenty years ago, like Torque, Supercross, and, of course, the infamous Laurence Fishburne film Biker Boyz. All of these films had howling plots, trying to create a The Fast & the Furious franchise of motorcycle films filled with murder and infidelity.

Eric Dane is full of gratitude.

“I’ve been put through the wringer,” the actor tells me Tuesday morning over Zoom while promoting his new indie drama, “One Fast Move.” “But now I’m having fucking fun.”

For many years, Dane’s private life played out in the tabloids. He recently opened up on Dax Shepard’s “Armchair Expert” podcast about his “Grey’s Anatomy” character Dr. Mark Sloan, a.k.a. McSteamy, being killed off the hit ABC show due, in part, to his real-life substance abuse problems.

But that was then.

Dane has been quite busy these last few years. In addition to “One Fast Move” – he plays a deadbeat dad and former motorcycle racing champion whose estranged son (Apa) comes back into his life – the actor appeared in this summer’s “Bad Boys: Ride or Die” opposite Will Smith and Martin Lawrence.

Exclusive: K.J. Apa (Riverdale) has entered production in the UK on Falling, a new romantic comedy-drama from Gulfstream Pictures.

The project marks Apa’s third with Gulfstream, on the heels of the motorcycle racing pic One Fast Move, which premieres on Prime Video August 8, and the rom-com The Last Summer for Netflix.

Written and directed by Colin Krisel and James Krisel (Last Moment of Clarity), Falling centers on Jack (Apa), who while quick-witted, charming, and avoidant, finally risks opening his heart when he starts dating Jillian. He never expected, though, that his best friend Johnny would fall for her, too.

Gulfstream is producing and fully financing in association with Luber Roklin Entertainment, having previously teamed with the company to produce One Fast Move. Producers include Mike Karz and Bill Bindley of Gulfstream Pictures, Lena Roklin and Matt Luber of Luber Roklin, and Piers Tempest of Tempo Productions. Apa, Tom Salentine,...

Exclusive: Eric Dane (Euphoria) has been tapped to star opposite Jensen Ackles and Jessica Camacho in Countdown, Prime Video’s thriller drama series from One Chicago veteran Derek Haas.

His casting shouldn’t be alarming news for Euphoria fans. According to sources, there have been some promising signs as work on Season 3 scripts continues with creator Sam Levinson. Amid a production delay, HBO in March allowed the cast to take other acting jobs.

Should the network proceed with a third season — which I hear is still targeting a start of production later this year for a 2025 debut — filming will have to be done around the schedule of cast members like Dane who have booked new gigs. That is considered challenging but doable. Since March, Dane also signed up for pan-European miniseries Kabul, which is currently in production.

Countdown starts following a suspicious murder in broad daylight, which leads to LAPD...

Exclusive: Scott Foley (Scandal) has signed on to star in La Dolce Villa, a new romantic comedy for Netflix. Others cast in the film, from director Mark Waters (Mean Girls), include Violante Placido (The American), Maia Reficco (Do Revenge) and Giuseppe Futia.

La Dolce Villa follows successful businessman Eric (Foley) as he travels to Italy to stop his daydreaming daughter Olivia (Reficco) from blowing her life savings on restoring a crumbling villa she purchased for €1. Italy, however, has different plans for him as it delivers on its legendary promise of beauty, magic, and romance.

Script was written by Elizabeth Hackett & Hilary Galanoy. Pic’s producers are Robyn Snyder, Deborah Evans, and Nicola Rosada. Hackett & Galanoy are serving as executive producers.

Best known for roles on shows like Scandal, Scrubs, Whiskey Cavalier and The Big Leap, Foley will next be seen on the Max political...

Eric Dane will join Will Smith and Martin Lawrence for a fourth film in Sony Pictures’ Bad Boys franchise.

Adil El Arbi and Bilall Fallah are returning to direct from a script by Chris Bremner, which sees the previous cast from Bad Boys: For Life, including Paola Núnez, Vanessa Hudgens and Alexander Ludwig, returning for the fourth installment.

Jerry Bruckheimer, Smith through his Westbrook banner, and Doug Belgrad are back producing; with Martin Lawrence, James Lassiter, Chad Oman, Mike Stenson, Barry Waldman and Jon Mone serving as executive producers. Plot is being kept under wraps. Dane is expected to play villain in pic.

Samara Weaving, Eric Dane and Ray Nicholson will star in Jimmy Warden’s “Borderline,” a new comedic thriller that is currently in production in Vancouver. The film centers around a helplessly romantic sociopath who escapes from a mental institution and invades the home of a ’90s pop superstar. He just wants to be loved; she just wants to survive.

“Borderline” marks the directorial debut of Warden, who also wrote the film, which appeared on the Black List, a highly-regarded annual survey of the most-liked scripts.

In the action-adventure pic from writer-director Kelly Blatz, a dishonorably discharged soldier (Apa) seeks out his estranged father (Dane) to help him pursue his dream of becoming a professional motorcycle racer. While training, he meets a small-town, aspiring singer (Reficco) and a motorcycle shop owner (Olmos) who begin to break down the walls his father’s absence had built up.

Details as to North’s role haven’t been disclosed. But Gulfstream Pictures is providing full financing for the film, with Mike Karz and Bill Bindley producing for the company, in association with Matt Luber and Lena Roklin of Luber Roklin Entertainment.
