Bruce Willis Fights Back in Rated “R” Home Invasion Thriller ‘Survive the Night’ [Trailer]
Bruce Willis is no stranger to battling bad guys and he’ll be doing that once again in the upcoming home invasion thriller Survive the Night, headed home via On Demand in May.
People.com exclusively scored the trailer for the Matt Eskandari-directed (12 Feet Deep) film, which stars Willis alongside Chad Michael Murray, Tyler Jon Olson and Shea Buckner.
Lydia Hull and Jessica Abrams also star.
The site details, “Willis plays Frank, a retired sheriff forced to rely on his former job’s skills when two criminals on the run threaten the lives of those closest to him.”
“After his brother Mathias (Olson) is mortally wounded in a botched robbery, Jamie (Buckner) stalks trauma doctor Rich (Murray) from the hospital to his home. Jamie proceeds to hold Rich’s wife and daughter hostage as he orders Rich to operate on his brother. This doesn’t sit well with Rich who teams up with his estranged father, Frank, to ensure his family’s safety.”
Lionsgate will digitally release Survive the Night on May 22nd.
The film is rated “R” for “Violence, bloody images and language throughout.”
This one has a Last House on the Left feel to it, but with more of an action-thriller approach…
Filming is underway on The Invisible Man director Leigh Whannell’s Wolf Man for Universal and Blumhouse, which will be howling its way into theaters on January 17, 2025.
Deadline reports that Matilda Firth (Disenchanted) is the latest actor to sign on, joining Christopher Abbott (Poor Things), Julia Garner (The Royal Hotel), and Sam Jaeger.
The project will mark Whannell’s second monster movie and fourth directing collaboration with Blumhouse Productions (The Invisible Man, Upgrade, Insidious: Chapter 3).
Wolf Man stars Christopher Abbott as a man whose family is being terrorized by a lethal predator.
Writers include Whannell & Corbett Tuck as well as Lauren Schuker Blum & Rebecca Angelo.
Jason Blum is producing the film. Ryan Gosling, Ken Kao, Bea Sequeira, Mel Turner and Whannell are executive producers. Wolf Man is a Blumhouse and Motel Movies production.
In the wake of the failed Dark Universe, Leigh Whannell’s The Invisible Man has been the only real success story for the Universal Monsters brand, which has been struggling with recent box office flops including the comedic Renfield and period horror movie The Last Voyage of the Demeter. Giving him the keys to the castle once more seems like a wise idea, to say the least.
