Lionsgate has unveiled the first trailer for its upcoming horror thriller ‘Never Let Go,’ slated to hit theaters on September 27. Directed by Alexandre Aja, the film stars Academy Award winner Halle Berry alongside Percy Daggs IV and Anthony B Jenkins.
‘Never Let Go’ follows the harrowing story of a mother, played by Berry, and her fraternal twin sons, portrayed by Daggs and Jenkins, who have been haunted by an evil woodland spirit for years. According to Deadline, the family has been taught to never let go of their protective bond. However, when one of the boys starts to question the reality of the evil, their bond weakens, leading to a terrifying struggle for survival.
The screenplay, crafted by Kevin Coughlin and Ryan Grassby, promises a gripping narrative. The film’s production team includes Shawn Levy, Dan Cohen, and Dan Levine of 21 Laps, alongside Aja. Halle Berry, Holly Jeter, and Emily Morris of 21 Laps serve as executive producers.
‘Never Let Go’ will face stiff competition at the box office on its release date. Other films debuting on September 27 include a horror thriller from Universal and Jordan Peele’s Monkeypaw, the drama ‘Lee’ starring Kate Winslet from Vertical/Roadside, Paramount’s re-release of Christopher Nolan’s ‘Interstellar’, and DreamWorks/Universal’s animated film ‘The Wild Robot’.
