#FIRSTLOOK: “YOUNG WERTHER” TO GET CANADIAN RELEASE JANUARY 10, 2025

After its premiere at TIFF ’24, YOUNG WERTHER is slated for a January 10, 2025 release in Canada. The film is a contemporary twist on Goethe’s classic novel and is written and directed by José Avelino Gilles Corbett Lourenço. It features a great cast, including Alison Pill from TRAP, Douglas Booth (MY SALINGER YEAR), Patrick J. Adams from Suits, and Iris Apatow from Unstable.

Synopsis
Patrick J. Adams, Douglas Booth and Alison Pill star in this romantic comedy based on the classic smash hit novel of tragic romance. While on a simple errand to Toronto, a carefree and charming young writer named Werther stumbles across the love of his life only to discover that the young woman is engaged. Despite the urgings of his hypochondriac best friend, Werther turns his world upside down in a desperate, misguided and hilarious quest to win her heart.

Synopsis:
It’s a new day for the Halifax Highlanders. A pro lockout has reunited old teammates and brought a crew of new players to the bench; notably missing from the line-up, however, is everyone’s favourite enforcer and heart of the team, Doug “The Thug” Glatt. Sidelined after one too many hits and now married with a baby on the way, Doug is hanging up his skates and settling into life as an insurance salesman. But when Doug’s nemesis, Anders Cain, is made captain of the Highlanders and new ownership threatens to tear his team apart, Doug is compelled back into action.

Ignoring the wishes of wife Eva, Doug heads to the rink, discovering an unlikely training partner in fellow retired enforcer and one-time arch rival, Ross “The Boss” Rhea. Together with grit, passion and unrivaled loyalty, they will grind out one last chance to do what they do best…protect their team.

Goon: Last Of The Enforcers stars Sean William Scott, Jay Baruchel, Allison Pill, Liev Schreiber, Elisha Cuthbert and Wyatt Russell.
