Overview
- Paramount announced the wide theatrical release for Parker Finn’s remake on Tuesday, August 11, 2026, scheduling the film for June 11, 2027.
- The picture is written and directed by Finn and stars Callum Turner and Margaret Qualley, with Diego Calva, Madeline Brewer, Emory Cohen, Nicholas Alexander Chavez and Paul Dano in supporting roles.
- Finn produces through his Bad Feeling banner with Jonathan Fass, and the project also lists Roy Lee, Andrew Childs and Robert Pattinson as producers and Marc Bienstock as executive producer.
- Production is underway with reported filming in New Jersey and early set photos showing violent scenes that suggest the remake will retain graphic elements of the original.
- The announcement has prompted debate among critics and horror fans over whether a mainstream summer release can preserve Andrzej Żuławski’s Cold War–rooted, intensely personal 1981 cult classic while Paramount leans on marketing and word of mouth to make the film a counterprogramming success.
