"Daddy's gotta go save a mermaid." Utopia has unveiled an official trailer for a funky indie comedy about a Florida Man called Mermaid, about a guy who finds a mermaid and brings her home. But yep - this one is less about the mermaid, more about what a kooky Florida Man would do with a new mermaid friend & what happens when everyone else finds out (hint: it's not good). Mermaid premiered at last year's 2025 SXSW Film Festival (one year ago) and opens in the US this April. A drug addicted Florida man finds a wounded mermaid at his lowest point. When word spreads about his secret, he'll stop at nothing to protect her. This stars Johnny Pemberton as Doug, Avery Potemri as the mermaid he names "Destiny", Kevin Nealon, Kirk Fox, Julia Larson, Devyn McDowell, Tom Arnold, with Robert Patrick & Kevin Dunn. The reviews are actually quite good - stating: "the film hangs on Pemberton’s performance, and he imbues Doug with a sweetness that makes us feel for him despite his deeply misguided actions." This looks super weird & wacky - they don't show the mermaid in this trailer because it turns into a horror story at one point. Freaky. // Continue Reading ›
