Finn Wolfhard & LaBelle in 'Crash Land'?! What Happens Next Will Shock You!
Movies & TV Series 25 November 2025

Alright, folks, buckle up for some potentially hilarious news! Word on the street is that Finn Wolfhard, our beloved Mike Wheeler from "Stranger Things," and Gabriel LaBelle, the star of Spielberg's "The Fabelmans," have wrapped up filming a new stunt comedy called "Crash Land." And get this – it's directed by none other than Dempsey Bryk, who's usually in front of the camera. Color me intrigued.

Finn Wolfhard & LaBelle in 'Crash Land'?! What Hap...

So, what's "Crash Land" all about? Well, picture this: a darkly humorous coming-of-age story swirling around a bunch of small-town, let's just say, *enthusiastic* amateur stuntmen. Apparently, their lives consist of drinking, stirring up trouble in their community, and, of course, filming their absolutely insane stunts. Sounds like the kind of movie that could either be a total train wreck or a surprisingly funny cult classic. Either way, I'm here for it.

The supporting cast is pretty solid too. We’ve got Abby Quinn ("I’m Thinking of Ending Things"), Billy Bryk (yes, Dempsey's brother, from "Friendship"), and Noah Parker ("Who By Fire") rounding out the ensemble. And speaking of the Bryk brothers, both of them are producing alongside Wolfhard and Julian Geneen. It seems like a real family affair, which I always find interesting, especially when it comes to potentially chaotic projects like this one.

Now, let's talk about Dempsey Bryk for a second. This is his directorial debut, which is a big deal. He's been acting for a while now, with credits in "We Were Liars," "Ordinary Angels," "Willow," and even an episode of "Black Mirror." So, he's clearly got a good grasp of the filmmaking process, and it'll be fascinating to see what he brings to the table as a director. I always like to see actors try their hand at directing. They often bring a unique perspective to the set.

Of course, Wolfhard's presence alone is enough to generate buzz. With the final season of "Stranger Things" on the horizon (finally!), he's a hot commodity. And LaBelle, after his phenomenal performance in "The Fabelmans," is proving he's more than just a flash in the pan. It will be interesting to see how these two actors play off of each other and if they can successfully carry a comedy that is so rooted in stunts and practical effects.

Financing for "Crash Land" comes from Ursa Major Entertainment, Elevation Pictures, and Redlab. Executive producers include Matthew Miller and Matt Johnson of Zapruder Films, Charles Cohen, and even LaBelle himself, along with Jasmin Kar, Sam Sutcliffe, and Dias Tobizarov of Ursa Major. Looks like they've got a solid team backing them up. So, yeah, keep an eye out for "Crash Land." This could be one wild ride. And who knows, maybe it'll even inspire me to try a stunt or two... just kidding! (Mostly.)
