Production
In May 2025, a trailer for the film Holiguards was shown at the Cannes Film Festival, which was directed by Kevin Spacey in his first directorial effort since Beyond the Sea (2004); it is also one of the few films he has starred in since he faced a series of sexual misconduct allegations in 2017. He stars alongside Dolph Lundgren, Tyrese Gibson, Brianna Hildebrand, Disha Patani, Eric Roberts, Harry Goodwins, Swen Temmel, and Sonia Pim Couling. Principal photography occurred in Mexico in 2024, with a budget of $10 million.[1][2] In August, it was announced that the film had been retitled to Holiguards Saga — The Portal of Force.[3]
Release
Holiguards Saga — The Portal of Force was scheduled to premiere in Lisbon on December 20, 2025,[4] but was later cancelled following ICIJ revelations about producer Elvira Paterson's ties to Russian crypto fraudster Vladimir Okhotnikov.[5]
