Hollywood and the public masses have not gotten over the passing of Bill Paxton who was on 61 when he died of complications from surgery. In the last few days we’ve seen countless tribute articles as well as anecdotes from those that knew him. The consensus is that the “every man” actor was one of the nicest people you could possibly know. Not only was he incredibly talented but he was an amazing inspiration to millions of people.
While the grieving may never end, people have moved on to asking questions about his most recent show Training Day. The show plans on doing a tribute to Paxton and will air his remaining work. Speaking of remaining work, Paxton will appear in a new thriller called Mean Dreams that doesn’t yet have an official release date (despite saying April in the trailer).
Paxton plays an abusive father and a corrupt cop in the thriller that follows his daughter Casey as she falls in love with a boy named Jonas and is desperate to escape her father and the broken home she grew up in. As you’ll see, Paxton looks terrifying.
Check out the trailer and full synopsis below:
Mean Dreams follows courageous local farm boy Jonas (Josh Wiggins) and the new girl next door, Casey (Sophie Nélisse), as they embark on a journey that will change their lives forever. As young love blossoms between the two fifteen-year-olds, Jonas also discovers that Casey’s abusive home life has reached a new level of danger, and Jonas takes the lead in their escape by stealing a bag full of drug money from Casey’s corrupt father, local cop Wayne Caraway (Bill Paxton). With the stolen cash as their only means to a better life, Casey flees with Jonas and together, under relentless pursuit from her father, they learn the hard truth of what it will take in order to survive. In the end, Casey and Jonas are forced to make a life-altering choice from which there will be no turning back.
