Directed and written by Lee Cronin (Evil Dead Rise), the film recently started shooting in Ireland and will be released on April 17, 2026. Costa joins Jack Reynor in this project, which marks the first collaboration between James Wan and Jason Blum’s merged companies under Warner Bros. Motion Picture Group.
