The official poster and trailer for Americana have been released. The film, which stars Sydney Sweeney, Halsey, Paul Walter Hauser, Simon Rex, Zahn McClarnon and Eric Dane is coming to cinemas on August 22nd. Watch below:
Entertainment Weekly have released an exclusive image of Halsey as Mandy Starr in ‘Americana. The film is scheduled to release on August 22nd, 2025. Continue reading for more information on Halsey’s character.
Halsey can summarize her character in one word: “Badass.”
“She’s holding on to a pretty profound secret that is eating her alive a little bit,” the singer/actress says of her character. “She’s really struggling with wanting to do the right thing and be a good person. It’s been challenging for her because she’s been done wrong by so many people that she’s trusted.”
A bit of a wild child, Mandy has a “very small found family” that Halsey describes as different from the one she was born to. “A lot of people will resonate with growing up under circumstances out of their control,” she says, “and wanting to do better and break these generational curses.”
Mandy also finds inspiration in music icons — for her, as evidenced by her hairstyle, it’s Joan Jett. “She aspires to be these badass women who don’t really take s— from anyone around them,” she explains. “Women who carved out their own path and have a voice and something to say. Mandy’s still finding her way to becoming those women that she admires.”
As for Mandy’s connection to the artifact, all Halsey will say is, “Mandy has a great ability to be in the wrong place at the wrong time — or at the right time, depending on how you look at it.”
A Collider exclusive has revealed new images from ‘Americana, including a new promotional still of Halsey. The film, directed by Tony Tost and starring Sydney Sweeney and Paul Walter Hauser, is confirmed to be 110 minutes long and will be released on August 22nd, 2025. It was filmed in early 2022 and premiered at South by Southwest Film Festival in March 2023, with Lionsgate acquiring worldwide distribution rights a year later. ‘Americana’ is said to have struggled due to its key production company, Bron Studios, filing for bankruptcy in 2023. Halsey plays a supporting character called Mandy Starr.
The director of Americana, which stars Halsey, has finally announced a release date of August 22nd for the film, which will be distributed by Liongsate. How exciting!
