Aims for 2027 Release
“When Darkness Loves Us,” a horror film starring “Game of Thrones” actor Emilia Clarke, has landed at Bleecker Street. It will be released in theaters at some point in 2027.
James Ashcroft wrote and directed the film, which was adapted from Elizabeth Engstrom’s 1980s novella of the same name. The story follows a young woman (Clarke) who, after surviving 15 years trapped in an underground cave system, returns to the surface to reclaim the family she believes is hers, “no matter the monstrous cost,” per the logline.
“The term ‘world-building’ is wildly overused, but the degree to which James and team have built a subterranean universe cannot be understated,” Bleecker CEO Kent Sanderson said in a statement. “This film is a true journey into the darkness, literally and figuratively, and we can’t wait to shock audiences worldwide with James’ singular vision.”
Marlon Williams (“Sweet Tooth”), Victoria Pedretti (“You”) and Natascha McElhone (“The Truman Show”) co-star in “When Darkness Loves Us,” which just wrapped filming in New Zealand. Ashcroft co-wrote the script with Hayley Sproull and Eli Kent.
