“We’ve been waiting for a long time, for you to make your wish…” Ruby Max Entertainment has revealed the official trailer for Starbright, a drama about a fallen star – a woman finds the secret to making wishes come true. This has been delayed for years and is finally opening in US theaters starting in January 2026 right after the New Year. When a star falls to earth during an eclipse, Aisling becomes its unlikely guardian, entrusted with the star’s fragile, living light. Hunted by dangerous men, she & Raphael are saved by Joshua, whose bravery & quiet strength turn the chase into a fight for hope. Together, they embark on a night of peril & discovery, where the light’s true gift is revealed — not in being kept, but in awakening the strength to hope & change. What begins as a chase becomes a journey toward grace, as the light exposes wounds long hidden — and offers her a choice: to stay in the past, or to embrace the future. Starbright is a contemporary fable about protection & release, about how we carry what we love, and how it remakes us when we finally let it shine. Starring Alexandra Dowling as Aisling, John Rhys-Davies, Diego Boneta, Becky Ann Baker, and Ted Levine, with Gbenga Akinnagbe, Tom Carey, John Westley, Elisabeth Röhm, and Christine Ebersole. There’s so much slo-mo in this trailer it’s hard to even make sense of what’s going on.
Here’s the official trailer (+ poster) for Francesco Lucente’s film Starbright, direct from YouTube:


On the night of an eclipse, a star breaks the sky and falls to earth. Aisling, (Alexandra Dowling) a woman burdened by loss, stumbles upon its living light — a fragile radiance that seems to breathe, to respond, to remember. Word of the phenomenon spreads, drawing the attention of ruthless men. Aisling flees through a sleeping city, finding unlikely allies: Raphael (John Rhys Davies), a grief-scarred elder whose faith has dimmed, and Joshua (Diego Boneta), a quiet stranger whose bravery comes is more than heroic. Across a single, dangerous night, they cross rail yards & riverbanks, chapels & forgotten streets, each step testing their resolve. What begins as a chase becomes a journey toward grace, as the light exposes wounds long hidden — and offers a choice: to stay in the past, or embrace the future. Starbright is directed by Italian-American filmmaker Francesco Lucente, director of Paradise Bungalows, The Inner Voice, Badlands, and Trutnov previously. The screenplay is by Joseph Bitonti and Olimpia Lucente. Produced by Francesco Lucente; executive produced by Olimpia Lucente and Jörg G. Neumann. Ruby Max Ent. will debut Lucente’s Starbright film in theaters nationwide starting January 9th, 2026 early next year. Who wants to watch?
