About the Movies

‘Moose’, Wonderfilm’s second feature film announced after ‘Primal’, see news release dated April 5, 2018, stars Academy Award nominee, John Travolta, alongside Devon Sawa and Ana Golja, and was directed by Fred Durst, lead singer and front man of ‘Limp Bizkit’. Set on the grimy streets of Hollywood, Moose is the story of a hyper, celebrity-obsessed man-child (Travolta) who feels slighted by his favorite movie star (Sawa) at an autograph convention and embarks on an unhinged quest to get a response from the actor — leading to a home invasion and a very long night that changes both men irreparably. John Travolta (Moose) Devon Sawa (Hunter Dunbar) and Ana Golja (Leah) team up in this violent, pitch black look at culture’s obsession with fame, and the social contract between celebrities and their fans in the age of social media. Worldwide distribution rights were purchased by the foreign sales company, Ambi Group.

‘Disturbing the Peace’ is Wonderfilm’s third announced film, see news release dated May 10, 2018, which stars Guy Pearce as marshal whose small town is invaded by a gang of outlaw bikers’ intent on robbing the town bank and an armored car. The marshal, an ex-Texas Ranger who hasn’t carried a gun for 10 years because of a shooting that went bad, is forced to pick up a gun again to protect his town.
