Overview
- NEON has taken primary U.S. distribution and set a February 24, 2027 release date after Row K scaled back its plans, with the film now in post-production and reportedly testing well with audiences.
- Reports say Row K offloaded the title for roughly $12 million and that NEON committed about $20 million for prints and advertising, but those financial terms and Row K’s ongoing role are sourced to unnamed outlets and remain developing.
- The reboot is directed by Jaume Collet-Serra and stars Lily James and Pierce Brosnan in a Dolomites-set survival story that centers on a violent kidnapping and a daughter forced to survive in the mountains.
- The production is reported to cost about $100 million and is being positioned for a wide theatrical rollout of roughly 3,000 screens, a strategy that makes the film’s commercial performance critical to the distributors and backers.
- Lily James has said she performed extensive real climbing on location, the filmmakers emphasized practical stunts during shooting, and the creative shift from a planned Stallone legacy sequel to a full reboot defined the project’s current direction.
