Filmed way back in 2013 and originally intended for release in 2015… and then 2016… and then maybe 2017?… Gerald’s Game director Mike Flanagan’s Before I Wake (read our review) has been met with delay after delay after delay, to the point that we were starting to wonder if we’d *ever* be able to watch the film here in the States.
The good news? Before I Wake, which Flanagan made before recent hits Ouija: Origin of Evil and Gerald’s Game, just arrived on US Netflix TODAY, January 5!
Our own Daniel Kurland wrote in his review last year that Before I Wake is “a haunted fairytale from a growing master.” So you’ll want to give this one your time.
In Before I Wake…
“Jessie and Mark, recovering from the death of their young son Sean, decide to take in 8-year-old Cody as a foster child. Cody seems sweet, loving and bright in every way, except that he is afraid to sleep. They soon discover why: Cody’s dreams manifest in reality as he sleeps. In Jessie’s grief, she tries to use Cody’s supernatural abilities to reconnect with her dead son. Soon she discovers that Cody’s nightmares manifest as well, as they experience both the intense wonder – and intense terror – that only a child’s imagination could conjure. To save their new family, Jessie and Mark must uncover the truth behind Cody’s nightmares.“
Kate Bosworth, Thomas Jane, Dash Mihok, Annabeth Gish and Jacob Tremblay star.
After kicking off with a limited theatrical run in May, James Cameron’s Terminator 2: Judgment Day is returning to the big screen in 4K, RealD 3D and premium formats next month.
To mark the 35th anniversary, Terminator 2: Judgment Day will open in U.S. theaters August 28 through September 2, 2026, along with a range of late August/early September premiere dates worldwide to commemorate T2’s “Judgment Day” on August 29 via STUDIOCANAL, Fathom Entertainment and Rialto Pictures.
Arnold Schwarzenegger, Linda Hamilton, Edward Furlong, and Robert Patrick star in the four-time Oscar Winner that sees a reprogrammed T-800 sent back in time to protect 10-year-old John Connor from the shape-shifting T-1000. Together with his mother Sarah, the cybernetic organism fights to stop Skynet from triggering a nuclear apocalypse.
The re-release comes with a new anniversary trailer, below.

James Cameron comments, “T2 was made for theatres, and our lovingly-prepared 3D version, coming back to the big screen, is the absolute best way to see the film. I believe it’s safe to do spoilers after 35 years, so SPOILER ALERT: the good guys win against the AI superintelligence! And maybe that’s a message of hope we all could use this summer.”
Anna Marsh CEO of STUDIOCANAL, Chief Content Officer of CANAL+ expands, “We are incredibly proud to mark the 35th anniversary of James Cameron’s masterpiece Terminator 2: Judgment Day in partnership with the passionate teams at Fathom Entertainment and Rialto Pictures in the US. This collaboration has been thrilling, and we cannot wait for audiences to mark Judgment Day in theatres all over the world this August. The continued restoration and discovery of classic and revolutionary cinema is the cornerstone of our strategy and it’s particularly gratifying to see the scale of this celebratory re-release come to fruition.”
Ray Nutt, Chief Executive Officer for Fathom Entertainment adds, “Terminator 2: Judgment Day was a cultural phenomenon in the U.S. upon release and 35 years later, remains a timeless, non-stop thrill ride that audiences – new and old – will love to see. With non-stop action, iconic performances from Arnold Scwarzenegger and Linda Hamilton, spectacular sound and visual effects, and even a massive hit song by Guns N’ Roses (“You Could Be Mine”), the re-release of T2 is a must-see theatrical event perfect for 3D and other premium formats.”
