Woody Harrelson Reunites With McConaughey in 'Brothers' at Sarajevo

At the Sarajevo Film Festival, Woody Harrelson receives the Heart of Sarajevo Award and promotes the Apple TV+ series Brothers, a two‑hander in which he reunites with Matthew McConaughey as fictionalized versions of themselves.

Harrelson stresses it isn’t a True Detective vibe, praises Jesse Eisenberg’s upcoming work, and notes other projects while reflecting on how Sarajevo has changed since the 1990s.

Bees, Banjo, and a Genre-Busting Western

Andrew Patterson’s The Rivals of Amziah King is a genre-bending Americana that fuses Western, noir, musical, heist, and Christian-inflected themes around Amziah King, a beekeeper whose honey binds a town together. Matthew McConaughey delivers a magnetic lead, while Kateri’s story reframes the drama through interconnected, morally nuanced town tales—an ambitious, music-filled journey that treats faith and community with nuance rather than preaching.
