“Nothing less than their heads!” Well Go USA has revealed an official trailer for an action thriller samurai movie called Lone Samurai, made by American filmmaker / producer Josh C. Waller. This just premiered at Beyond Fest 2025, where they explain in the intro: the film “reimagines the classic samurai epic through an intimate, hallucinatory lens. When a violent and reckless ronin is shipwrecked on a remote island, he’s left with no outlet for his rage—only the ghosts of his past and the unforgiving landscape around him now. As isolation corrodes his mind, his search for peace turns into a brutal spiritual trial, one that blurs the line between reality and nightmare.” The film stars Japanese actor Shogen (real name Shogen Itokazu) as Riku, along with Keigo Sunagawa, Yuma Sunagawa, Sumire Ashina, and badass Indonesian actor Yayan Ruhian you’ll recognize from The Raid films. The fest adds: “With sparse dialogue, stark visuals & a surreal crescendo that fuses Cast Away’s existential solitude with the feverish pulp of Temple of Doom, [the film] becomes a meditation on redemption, madness, and survival.” This sounds and looks pretty cool! Click play.

Here’s the official trailer (+ two posters) for Josh C. Waller’s film Lone Samurai, direct from YouTube:

A violent, reckless samurai (starring Shogen) is shipwrecked on a desolate island, stripped of any outlet for his rage. As he embarks on a punishing spiritual journey to quiet his turbulent mind, the line between meditation and madness begins to blur. When external demons—manifesting as flesh-hungry cannibals—abduct him, his grip on reality and his mastery of the blade are tested in ways he never imagined. Lone Samurai is written and directed by American producer / filmmaker Josh C. Waller, director of the films Raze, McCanick, and Camino previously; plus a producer on many other indie projects including Mandy. Produced by Alan Pao, Doris Pfardrescher, and Josh C. Waller. Filmed in Indonesia and Japan. This initially premiered at the 2025 Beyond Fest and Newport Beach Film Festivals this fall. Well Go USA will release Waller’s Lone Samurai film direct-to-VOD on December 12th, 2025 this fall. Look good? Want to watch?

“When I was doing Dune, it was so hot in the desert that I just couldn’t question anything,” Pattinson said in an interview.

He added, “And it was so relaxing, like my brain actually wasn’t operating. I did not have a single functioning brain cell. And I was listening to Denis Villeneuve, ‘Whatever you want!'”

About Dune Part Three

Dune: Part Three is expected to open in theatres on December 18, 2026, and is based on Frank Herbert’s 1969 novel, Dune Messiah, which follows Atreides’ struggles with the consequences of his Fremen-led jihad upon his ascension to Emperor Muad’Dib, reported Deadline.

Pattinson is reportedly set to take on the villain role of Scytale in ‘Dune: Part Three’.

The Dune franchise stars Timothee Chalamet, Zendaya, Rebecca Ferguson, Josh Brolin, Dave Bautista, Charlotte Rampling, Stellan Skarsgard, Javier Bardem, and Stephen McKinley Henderson. The sequel also added Florence Pugh, Lea Seydoux, Christopher Walken, Austin Butler, and Souheila Yacoub to the cast. Jason Momoa will reprise his role in the upcoming third film.

Pattinson is currently promoting his new film Die My Love, in which he co-stars opposite Dune co-star Zendaya. He recently wrapped filming Christopher Nolan’s The Odyssey and is about to start filming The Batman: Part II, the long-awaited sequel, with director Matt Reeves, according to Deadline. (ANI)
