Get ready for a turbo-charged thrill ride with Eenie Meanie, an upcoming heist thriller set to premiere exclusively on Hulu (and via Hulu on Disney+) starting August 22, 2025. Bucking genre expectations with gritty humor and breakneck pacing, the film marks the feature debut of writer-director Shawn Simmons—and it’s already revving some serious buzz.
At the center of Eenie Meanie is Edie, a former teenage getaway driver played by Samara Weaving (Ready or Not, Babylon). Edie’s been out of the game, but when a reckless ex-boyfriend lands in deadly trouble, she’s forced back behind the wheel for a risky job from a former employer. What follows is a high-stakes, high-octane odyssey packed with shady criminals, tense casino heists, and blistering car chases.
The ensemble cast reads like a who’s-who of eclectic talent: Karl Glusman, Jermaine Fowler, Marshawn Lynch, Randall Park, Steve Zahn, and Andy Garcia bring their own edge and charisma to a story that thrives on unpredictability. Whether it’s backroom deals or pedal-to-the-metal escapes, each character adds fuel to the fire.
Filmed on location in Cleveland, Lakewood, and Toledo, Ohio, the movie makes full use of its rustbelt settings—gritty alleys, neon-lit streets, and rural backroads all help shape the dangerous world Edie must navigate. The action is grounded, fast, and visceral, with a tone that blends dark comedy and kinetic suspense in all the right ways.
As Edie’s past collides with her present, the film dives deep into loyalty, regret, and redemption—without ever letting up on the gas. It’s a story of a woman reclaiming power on her own terms, even if it means driving straight into danger.
Produced by 20th Century Studios, Eenie Meanie is more than a heist movie—it’s a stylish, wild ride that dares to be both hilarious and heart-pounding. Whether you’re a fan of edgy thrillers, strong female leads, or cars roaring through neon-soaked nights, this one’s got your name on it.
Mark your calendars: Eenie Meanie hits Hulu and Hulu on Disney+ August 22. Don’t miss it.
