‘American Pie' star Tara Reid pushes for a sequel as she hits indie film red carpet
Tara Reid is feeling nostalgic as she looks toward her career's future. Reid hit the red carpet Wednesday for the Indonesian horror film "Pabrik Gula" (or "Sugar Mill" as it's known in the U.S.), wearing a black leather jacket and long skirt. Her appearance at the premiere comes just a few days after she shared some throwback pictures of her "American Pie" days on Instagram. "Nothing like the good ol days with my cast! Who's ready for another American Pie? I think it needs to happen!" she wrote in the caption. The 49-year-old has been working plenty in the years since the hit teen comedy, with films like the SYFY channel's "Sharknado" series and a recent appearance on the CBS sitcom "Ghosts" in 2023. In 2023, Reid also appeared on the Fox reality series "Special Forces: World's Toughest Test," looking to prove she was more than her early 2000s party girl image. "I feel like I've been bullied a lot, you know, in my life. And I kind of wanted to do the show because I wanted people to see the other side of me," she told Fox News Digital at the time. "And stop bullying me for kind of always the same things. And to let them see, you know, I'm not just this girl who's 21 and partying in 'American Pie.'" The negative attention prompted Reid to step back from Hollywood. "I needed a break," she said. "You know, I think everyone needs a break from something when it becomes too much." Since then, Reid has concentrated on starring in several independent projects, including the upcoming "Dr. Quarantine," which she recently earned a best actress award for at the Hollywood Reels film festival. "This award means so much to me.. I want to thank my director White Cross for challenging me to bring this character alive and pushing me past any limits, and my cast and crew for all of your hard work to bring this project alive. So thankful for the outcome and for the success of this film to win another award and be recognized for the thing I love most in this world, acting," she wrote on social media. Reid continued, "Thank you so much to my fans, I couldn't do this without you thank you for all your love, the comments and support have truly made my heart happy."

EST N8 Acquires Indonesian Horror Film ‘Pabrik Gula' (‘Sugar Mill') For North America Release — Filmart
EXCLUSIVE: Los Angeles-based sales, production, and finance company EST N8 has acquired Indonesian horror film Pabrik Gula (Sugar Mill) for North America release. Pabrik Gula is directed by Awi Suryadi, who helmed the highest-grossing Indonesian film of all time, KKN di Desa Penari.

The film follows a group of seasonal workers arriving at a sugar mill, only to find themselves tormented by vengeful demons. As terrifying events unfold, they must unravel the mystery of what awakened these dark forces — and whether they can escape and return home before it is too late. Arbani Yasiz (Winter Elegy, Azzamine) stars in the film, alongside Erika Carlina (The Devil's Bride, Sleep Call) and Ersya Aurelia (Killers, Anak Jalanan: A New Beginning). The film is produced by MD Pictures, under Indonesian studio MD Entertainment, which has released over 200 films since its founding in 2002, including Ayat Ayat Cinta, Habibie & Ainun. The deal was brokered by Tenten Wei, Sophie Shi, and Cathy Ni of EST N8. EST N8 is a partnership between LA-based EST Studios and New York- and Bangkok-based N8 Studios, representing a slate of Asian films at global markets. EST Studios was founded in 2022 by Jaeson Ma (Stampede Ventures, 88rising) and Eric Tu (Vice, Anonymous Content). Suryadi's other directing credits include horror flick Perewangan — which is also represented by EST N8. In addition to Pabrik Gula, EST N8's sales titles include Indonesian horror films Sorop, Hutang Nyawa and Perewangan and The Hole, as well as Korean thriller 30 Minutes, Japanese fantasy River Returns, Mongolian-Thai horror The Circle of Death, Malaysian action film Budak Flat, Korean action film Mash Ville and Thai thriller Delivery Man. 'The EST N8 team is ecstatic about collaborating with MD Pictures on Pabrik Gula,' said Ma, chairman of EST Studios. 'We can't wait to introduce audiences to the rich world of Pabrik Gula, a film that will surely resonate with fans of supernatural horror.' Manoj Punjabi, CEO of MD Entertainment, added: 'We are thrilled to bring Pabrik Gula (Sugar Mill) to audiences in the U.S., marking another milestone for Indonesian cinema on the global stage. This film is a testament to our commitment to delivering high-quality storytelling that resonates across cultures. With its gripping horror, deep-rooted folklore, and cinematic spectacle, we believe Pabrik Gula will leave a lasting impact on international audiences. We can't wait for moviegoers in the U.S. to experience the thrill and mystery that this film has to offer.'
