Zac Efron stars in incredible true story The Greatest Beer Run Ever, one of the highlights coming to Apple TV+ in September.
It sounds like the streaming platform has a potential heartwarming hit on its hands with Life by Ella, which premieres on September 2nd. The series follows the titular Ella as she returns to school with a fresh perspective and excitement for her future after a battle with cancer.
Despite her parent’s worries, Ella’s ready to tackle all the things she was too afraid to do before, with her best friend by her side. “Take a risk. Take a chance. Live your life,” as the trailer reminds viewers. If viewers are after some uplifting content in September, Life by Ella should have them covered.
From Kristen Stewart becoming an arthouse darling to Daniel Radcliffe starring as Weird ‘Al’ Yankovic, millennial teen stars seem to be making it their mission to have unexpected post-franchise careers recently.
Zac Efron has done likewise following his time in High School Musical, doing everything from portraying a notorious serial killer to making an Australian survival film. Next up for him is The Greatest Beer Run Ever, which arrives on Apple TV+ at the end of the month.
The biographical comedy-drama, based on the book of the same name, follows the true story of John “Chickie” Donohue, who left New York in 1968 to bring some much-needed beers – and a morale boost – to his childhood friends fighting in Vietnam.
The film’s being directed by Peter Farrelly who’s coming off the back of a surprising Oscar win for 2018’s Green Book. The director will be hoping that The Greatest Beer Run Ever strikes a similarly sentimental note with audiences in time for awards season.
