Cole Sprouse-led thriller Vintage Violence, from director Eugene Kotlyarenko, premiered at the Toronto International Film Festival as an absurdist crime comedy that tries to mimic the experience of constant phone use by displaying characters' screens alongside the main action. The film follows a disgraced influencer who travels to Tokyo to sell vintage denim, only to be drawn into yakuza-related scams, and represents an escalation of Kotlyarenko's earlier hyper-connectivity themes seen in 2020's Spree.

Sprouse plays Carter, who finds vintage Levi's while livestreaming and is encouraged by a fan, played by Kiko Mizuhara, to sell them in Tokyo, where he becomes entangled with yakuza scammers. The film simultaneously shows text messages, livestreams and other phone activity onscreen throughout, creating a deliberately chaotic viewing experience likened to a toned-down Takashi Miike film; no theatrical release date has yet been set.
