PHOENIX — "Hot Water," an action-comedy filmed in Lake Havasu, is skipping the movie theater and heading straight to a TV near you!
The movie was originally set to go to the big screen, but due to the stay-at-home order, the moviemakers are giving viewers early access to watch the film on its website starting Thursday.
The movie is based on a racer in the International Jet Sports Boating Association world finals, which takes place every year in Lake Havasu.
Larry Rippenkroeger, a champion jet skier and former stuntman, is the creator and director. His inspiration for the movie came from real-life experiences while he was a competitor.
The film’s actors include Scottsdale native Max Adler, Glenn McCuen, Trevor Donovan, Michael Papajohn and Vanessa Angel.
"Hot Water" costs $11.99 to rent on hotwatermovie.com. The movie is expected to be available for rent and purchase on streaming services such as iTunes, Amazon, Google Play and cable “On Demand” later this summer.
