Kevin Spacey, whose once-prominent career was derailed by sexual assault allegations, is making a determined return to the film industry. Following his acquittal in a high-profile sex offenses trial, Spacey has taken a significant step forward by directing a new supernatural thriller titled Holiguards. This marks the third time Spacey has directed a movie, underscoring his commitment to reestablishing himself in Hollywood.
Holiguards, stars Spacey alongside action veterans Dolph Lundgren (Rocky IV) and Eric Roberts (Best of the Best). The film is produced by Elledgy Media Group, the new production company helmed by Elvira Gavrilova Paterson, marking its inaugural project. The story, crafted by Sergey Torchilin and Lado Okhotnikov, unfolds in a near-future world fractured by secret supernatural forces. It centers on two ancient warrior factions—the Holiguards and the Statiguards—locked in a clandestine war for humanity’s destiny. A young woman discovers she is the offspring of rival leaders, potentially holding the key to ending the conflict. Meanwhile, a Statiguard strategist orchestrates a devastating attack in Paris involving nuclear weapons and mind-controlled civilians, aiming to awaken an ancient cosmic force called the Prime.
With a production budget of $10 million, Holiguards was filmed entirely in Mexico last year, supported by The Roots Production Service, and is currently in post-production. The cast also includes Tyrese Gibson (Morbius), Brianna Hildebrand (Deadpool), and Disha Patani (Kalki 2898 AD), adding to the film’s diverse lineup.
This movie is positioned as the launchpad for a franchise titled Statiguards vs. Holiguards, promising an expansive universe of supernatural conflict and action-packed plots. Given Spacey’s controversial past and ambitious directorial return, Holiguards is attracting significant attention from both critics and fans alike.
