After thrilling viewers at the 82nd Venice International Film Festival in September, the American crime thriller ‘Dead Man’s Wire‘ was given a limited theatrical release on January 9.

Winning over even more critics during that weeklong run, the suspense-driven flick – based on the actual hostage standoff involving famed kidnapper Tony Kiritsis – is charging toward a wide theater rollout on January 16.

“On February 8, 1977, Kiritsis entered the office of Richard Hall, president of the Meridian Mortgage Company, and took him hostage with a sawed-off shotgun wired with a ‘dead man’s wire’ from the trigger to Tony’s own neck,” the official logline reads.

Directed by Gus Van Sant, ‘Wire’ boasts an all-star cast including Dacre Montgomery, Bill Skarsgard, Al Pacino, Colman Domingo, and more.

PinkPantheress and Zara Larsson venture ‘Stateside’ in their vibrant new music video.

The eclectic pair teamed up for the collaborative take on the track, which resides on the remix edition of the ‘Fancy That’ mixtape.

The arrival of the Charlotte Rutherford-directed clip is apt.

For, it lands as the track made its debut on the Billboard Hot 100, at #100.

As is the case with all releases with multiple versions, it’s the iteration with the most traction that receives the ultimate credit on the coveted count. In a unique move, when Larsson’s name was omitted, PinkPantheress requested she be added – and she was. We love to see it!

The growing success of ‘Stateside’ also comes as Larsson continues to bask in the rays of virality beaming on her from her hit ‘Midnight Sun’ and the revival of 2015 smash ‘Lush Life.’
