Lionsgate has released the first trailer for its upcoming horror thriller ‘Never Let Go’, set to hit theatres on September 27.
The film, directed by Alexandre Aja, stars Academy Award winner Halle Berry alongside Percy Daggs IV and Anthony B Jenkins.
‘Never Let Go’ tells the 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 was written by Kevin Coughlin and Ryan Grassby.
The film’s production team includes 21 Laps’ Shawn Levy, Dan Cohen, and Dan Levine, along with Aja. Halle Berry, Holly Jeter, and 21 Laps’ Emily Morris serve as executive producers.
‘Never Let Go’ faces 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, Vertical/Roadside’s drama ‘Lee’ starring Kate Winslet, Paramount’s re-release of Christopher Nolan’s ‘Interstellar’, and DreamWorks/Universal’s animated film ‘The Wild Robot’.
Lionsgate has recently been busy, rolling out titles such as ‘Imaginary’, ‘The Ministry of Ungentlemanly Warfare’, and ‘Boy Kills World’.
The studio is also set to release ‘The Strangers: Chapter 1’, the first film in a new horror trilogy, and ‘You Can’t Run Forever’, a thriller featuring Academy Award winner JK Simmons.
