“Things are happening that I don’t understand…” Briarcliff Entertainment has debuted the official trailer for a film titled Nickels, yet another new grief drama arriving to watch this fall. Nickels is directed by indie filmmaker Spencer King and is set for a US release in theaters this October. This is the first we’ve heard or seen anything about this – no festival premieres either. It’s a heavy emotional film about a man named Tom who lost his brother while he was riding a motorcycle 35 years ago. Tom Monroe, a successful entrepreneur, is haunted by his brother’s death in a motorcycle accident. Years later, a neighbor’s son ends up in a bike crash, leading Tom to suspect his brother’s spirit has returned. This trailer hints that it’s about grief but also about the possibility of reincarnation and coincidences that might be something more. Starring Rob Riggle giving an unusually dramatic, emotional performance as Tom, with Aaron Holliday as his neighbor’s son, Bitsie Tulloch, June Schreiner, Tom Arnold, & Odessa A’zion as his daughter. It’s a tad saccharine, but also looks endearing with them trying to make sense of all the feelings they are all feeling. Worth a look.
Here’s the first official trailer for Spencer King’s film Nickels, direct from Briarcliff’s YouTube:
In the movie Nickels, Rob Riggle stars as Tom Monroe, a successful entrepreneur and devoted family man who has never recovered from the tragic motorcycle accident that claimed his older brother’s life when he was a teenager. Thirty years later, after his neighbor’s son, Mitch Diller (Aaron Holliday), is involved in a devastating motorcycle crash, Tom begins to believe his brother’s spirit may have returned. His search for answers impacts everyone closest to him including his daughter, Harper (Odessa A’zion), and his wife (Bitsie Tulloch) as Tom is forced to confront grief, faith and the possibility of second chances. Nickels is directed by the indie filmmaker Spencer King, director of the movies Black Petunia, Time Now, and The Wilderness previously. The screenplay is written by Tim Tuchrello. Produced by Jordan Dykstra, Danielle Goodman Strong, Danielle Goodman, Andrew Ortenberg, Tom Ortenberg. Briarcliff Entertainment debuts King’s Nickels in select US theaters + VOD starting on October 2nd, 2026 this fall. Who wants to watch?
