After weeks of suspense, we finally have good news regarding Against the grain 2, expected soon on Prime Video. While the film seemed to be called into question following the arrest of Gabriel Guevara (Nick), the author of the novels has just denied a rumor and provided information that will delight fans.
Big success on Prime Video in summer 2023, the film Against the direction (Culpa Mia in original version) has not said its last word. Following numerous viewings (the film is still currently the most viewed feature film on the platform in the world, four months after its release), the streaming platform announced two sequels: Against the grain 2 And Against the grain 3 will arrive soon. But a few days after the start of filming for the second part, the saga faced a scandal: the actor Gabriel Guevara, the interpreter of Nick, was arrested at the Venice Film Festival for sexual assault, following an arrest warrant issued by France. Since then, the actor’s lawyer has spoken out, explaining that it was all just a misunderstanding and that these were facts dating back several years, for which the actor was acquitted. While waiting for the matter to calm down, Prime Video had paused filming and rumors were circulating about a possible replacement of the actor. While the platform had not given any further news, the author of the novels, Mercedes Ron, has just reassured fans.
