\"\"<\/a>Original Film, Row K<\/p>\n

The $100 million-budget \u201cCliffhanger\u201d reboot appears to finally have found a release date with World of Reel<\/a> reporting a February 24th 2027 wide theatrical release in the United States.<\/p>\n

The news comes months after original distributor Row K was revealed to be in serious financial issues, putting several films of theirs in limbo. Of those, \u201cCliffhanger\u201d was easily the biggest.<\/p>\n

Sylvester Stallone was set to star in what was to be a legacy-sequel to the 1993 Renny Harlin-directed original \u2013 only for him and director Ric Roman Waugh to exit weeks before production was to begin over reported \u201ccreative differences\u201d. <\/p>\n

The script was overhauled and turned into a reimagining of the property with \u201cThe Shallows\u201d and \u201cCarry-On\u201d director Jaume Collett-Sera coming aboard. Then came the casting with Lily James and Pierce Brosnan to lead the film.<\/p>\n

In the film and while staying with her father Ray Cooper, an experienced mountaineer who runs a luxury chalet in the Dolomites, Naomi and her sister Sydney join a weekend excursion with the son of a billionaire.<\/p>\n

When the group is ambushed by a gang of kidnappers, Naomi witnesses the attack and narrowly escapes. Forced into hiding, she must summon her courage to save Sydney and her father before it is too late.<\/p>\n
