Day Drinker filming starting very soon
Filming for Marc Webb’s upcoming movie, ‘Day Drinker,’ is set to kick off in Madrid, Spain, in the first quarter of 2025. Johnny is leading the cast, alongside Penélope Cruz and Madelyn Cline, with Zach Dean writing the script. Lionsgate is backing the project, which marks a big return for Johnny to major studio films after the whirlwind of the past few years.
The story follows a bartender on a cruise ship who meets a mysterious day drinker. Their encounter drags them into the dangerous depths of the criminal underworld, uncovering some wild, unexpected connections along the way.
Adam Fogelson, the Lionsgate Motion Picture Group chair, is genuinely excited about this one. He’s confident that the combo of Marc Webb’s vision, Johnny’s talent, and Penélope’s energy will result in something truly special.
This project also brings Johnny and Penélope back together for their fourth collaboration—they’ve built quite the bond over the years, from ‘Blow’ to ‘Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides’, and ‘Murder on the Orient Express’.
And Madrid? It’s buzzing more than ever as a top filming spot in Europe, so it’s the perfect backdrop for this kind of gritty, stylish thriller. Can’t wait to see what Johnny and the crew pull off with this one.
