Dive into Summer War
Summer War is not your typical holiday flick. It follows the U.S. champ of the World War II board game Third Reich on a supposed peaceful summer vacation. But twist! Things get murky when a tourist vanishes into thin air. The movie, kicking off production this summer, spins its tale from Roberto Bolaño’s novel The Third Reich. Despite being written in 1989, this story remained hidden until after Bolaño’s death in 2003.
The plot thickens when Udo Berger, the war game wizard, arrives in Costa Brava with his girlfriend. When his buddy mysteriously disappears, Berger’s holiday spirals into a high-stakes game against a shadowy local.
A Stellar Cast
Lux isn’t going solo in Summer War. She’ll share the screen with a cast of stars including Dan Beirne of Gen V, Aline Küppenheim from 42 Days of Darkness, and others.
Lux and Pedro: Sibling Goals
Lux first captured our attention in Narcos, acting alongside her brother, Pedro. Since then, she’s been rocking roles in Spanish TV shows and films, making waves in the acting world.
In a heart-to-heart in 2021, Lux opened up about her transition, a journey her family embraced, especially Pedro. He’s not just a big brother but a guide and supporter, arming Lux with the tools to forge her identity.
Pedro’s pride in Lux’s courage and strength shines through, whether at glitzy award shows or in the face of social challenges. He’s voiced his awe at Lux’s power and resilience, especially amidst growing anti-trans sentiment.
What’s Next for the Pascals?
While Lux steps into her thrilling new role, Pedro’s not slowing down. He’s juggling a packed schedule with the lesbian road trip comedy Drive Away Dolls, filming The Last of Us season two, and gearing up for the 2025 Marvel hit, The Fantastic Four.
