Overview
- Variety and other outlets report that Sandberg has been officially tapped to direct Mommy's Home for Lionsgate with an official logline about a young dad whose cryogenically preserved mother is unfrozen and sent to live with him.
- James Morosini wrote the screenplay and the project marks his second feature credit as a screenwriter following his 2022 film I Love My Dad.
- Producers on the project include Craig Flores, Dawn Olmstead and Anonymous Content, with Sandberg and Lotta Losten producing through their company Mångata and multiple executive producers and Lionsgate overseers attached.
- The film is in early development or pre-production with no public casting, production start date, or release window announced yet.
- Sandberg's career path from the viral short that became Lights Out to studio films such as Shazam! and 2025's Until Dawn helps explain industry interest and suggests the project could continue his recent focus on mainstream horror.
