Isabela Merced Stars In New 'Spirit Untamed' Trailer - Watch Now!

Isabela Merced Stars In New 'Spirit Untamed' Trailer - Watch Now!

A brand new trailer for the upcoming Spirit Untamed has been released!

The new Spirit franchise movie stars Isabela Merced in the lead role, as Lucky Prescott.

Here’s a synopsis: Lucky Prescott never really knew her late mother, Milagro Navarro (Eiza González), a fearless horse-riding stunt performer from Miradero, a small town on the edge of the wide-open frontier.

Like her mother, Lucky isn’t exactly a fan of rules and restrictions, which has caused her Aunt Cora (Julianne Moore) no small amount of worry. Lucky has grown up in an East Coast city under Cora’s watchful eye, but when Lucky presses her own luck with one too many risky escapades, Cora picks up stakes and moves them both back with Lucky’s father, Jim (Jake Gyllenhaal), in Miradero.

Lucky is decidedly unimpressed with the sleepy little town. She has a change of heart when she meets Spirit, a wild Mustang who shares her independent streak, and befriends two local horseback riders, Abigail Stone (Mckenna Grace) and Pru Granger (Marsai Martin). Pru’s father, stable owner Al Granger (Andre Braugher), is the best friend of Lucky’s father.

When a heartless horse wrangler (Walton Goggins) and his team plan to capture Spirit and his herd and auction them off to a life of captivity and hard labor, Lucky enlists her new friends and bravely embarks on the adventure of a lifetime to rescue the horse who has given her freedom and a sense of purpose, and has helped Lucky discover a connection to her mother’s legacy and to her Mexican heritage that she never expected.

The new Spirit Untamed trailer also features Taylor Swift‘s “Wildest Dreams (Taylor’s Version),” just like the previously released teaser.

The animated pic will be released in theaters on June 4th.

Marsai Martin To Produce New Disney Channel Series, Cast Revealed!

Marsai Martin is executive producing a new show for the Disney Channel!

It was just announced that the 16-year-old and her Genius Productions company are producing the single-camera comedy Saturdays.

“Y’all … I’m so happy to finally be able to talk about this,” Marsai shared on Twitter.

The new series has only been given a pilot order so far, and follows Paris, who, since the age of four, has been honing her skills on the cool parquet floor of SATURDAYS, a local skating rink owned and operated by a former ’90s hip-hop back-up dancer. With its neon lights, galaxy-painted rink and killer D.J. spinning the latest music, SATURDAYS is the place to show and prove.

Her parents Cal and Deb have been cast with Omar Gooding and Golden Brooks. Jermaine Harris will play her older brother and aspiring DJ, London.

Daria Johns and newcomer Samantha A. Smith have been cast as her best friends, Simone and Roxy, while Yolanda “Yo-Yo” Whitaker will appear in a recurring role as roller rink owner Duchess.

“When we met with Marsai about this project, we couldn’t have been more impressed with her passion for diverse storytelling and commitment to female empowerment,” Rafael Garcia, vice president, Development, Disney Branded Television, said in a statement. “We’re extremely excited to team up with Norman and the Genius Entertainment team to tap into roller-skating culture in a way that’s truly both authentic and aspirational for our audience.”

If you missed it, Marsai recently opened up about once being told there weren’t opportunities out there for her.
