What would The Goonies look like if it were set in a lunar mining colony? It might look something like Crater, a new Disney+ coming-of-age film from director Kyle Patrick Alvarez, known for helming episodes of 13 Reasons Why and the 2015 thriller The Stanford Prison Experiment.
Alvarez’s experience on both seems crucial for Crater, which centers on a group of kids having one last adventure before one moves away from the mining colony. McKenna Grace, of Ghostbusters: Afterlife fame, is the biggest star in the young cast. She’s joined by Isaiah Russell-Bailey, Billy Barratt, Orson Hong, and Thomas Boyce. Scott “Kid Cudi” Mescudi is also aboard in a supporting role.
Crater hits Disney+ on May 12th.
“Crater” is the story of Caleb Channing (Russell-Bailey), who was raised on a lunar mining colony and is about to be permanently relocated to an idyllic faraway planet following the death of his father (Mescudi). But before leaving, to fulfill his dad’s last wish, he and his three best friends, Dylan (Barratt), Borney (Hong) and Marcus (Boyce), and a new arrival from Earth, Addison (Grace), hijack a rover for one final adventure on a journey to explore a mysterious crater.”
