This year’s Escape Room kicked off January on a strong note, and it looks like Sony is hoping to have the same success in 2020 as they’ve just bumped Nicolas Pesce’s Grudge out of its mid 2019 slot and into that early January slot that Escape Room occupied this year.
The plan was for Grudge to be released into theaters on June 21, 2019, but we’ve learned this morning that Sony has pushed it all the way back to January 3, 2020.
Check out the first shot from the new film below.
Horror veteran Lin Shaye stars in the re-remake. Also starring are Andrea Riseborough, Demian Bichir (The Nun), and John Cho (“The Exorcist”), as well as Betty Gilpin (“Glow”), William Sadler (The Mist), Jacki Weaver and Frankie Faison.
Based on a script by Midnight Meat Train and Pet Sematary scribe Jeff Buhler, it’s a new take on the 2004 pic (itself based on the 2002 Japanese original Ju-on), which starred Sarah Michelle Gellar as a nurse in Tokyo who is afflicted by a curse that created uncontrollable homicidal rage.
This will be the twelfth Ju-On/The Grudge film, which also has a video game, two short films, and several graphic novels included in the collection.
