Actor Austin Amelio is well known for his roles as Dwight in The Walking Dead and Fear the Walking Dead, Everybody Wants Some, and the Netflix original Hitman. Next, Amelio will star in a thriller, The Reunion.
Written and directed by Roland Ellis, known for his short films Break Down and The Ryan Allen Incident, The Reunion is a thriller from Truant Pictures; view the teaser on Ellis' Vimeo.
The story tells of greedy family members who journey to their family estate under the guise of celebrating their grandmother's birthday. But the real plan is to cart her off to a care facility while they fight for their share of the inheritance.
The movie features Amelio with Emma Booth (Glitch), Mark Menchaca (Ozark), Mary Beth Peil (Mirrors), Annie Hamilton (The Wolf of Snow Hollow), and Jake Cannavale (Nurse Jackie).
Amelio shared his enthusiasm for the movie on Instagram with several photos with the caption "Really proud of this film and everyone innit. I got cast on my birthday and three days prior to the start of production because some other actor had dropped out. Got lucky."
Amelio and Ellis attended that Santa Fe Film Festival in Oct. 2024 where The Reunion had its debut.
Cinematographer Evan Jake Cohen shared more about the project adding how proud and grateful he is to be part of it and the "incredible collaboration with writer-director Roland Ellis!"
Amelio will also star in When Nobody Sees Us, Max's first Spanish-produced original series. Directed by Enrique Urbizu, the series is adapted from Sergio Sarria's same-titled novel and premiered at the San Sebastián Film Festival. The eight-part series is expected to be available to stream on Max in the spring of 2025.
The story is set during Holy Week in southern Spain, an area located near a US Army base. A sergeant in the Civil Guard is tasked with investigating an unusual suicide of a neighbor while a special agent is sent to the base to locate a missing American soldier.
Amelio shared some photos of the project on Instagram, and it is exciting to see all the support he received in the comments from fellow TWDU actors and TWDU director Michael E Satrazemis.
