A sequel to 2022’s surprise hit survival thriller, Fall 2 will reach new heights this summer.
Lionsgate has set an August 7 theatrical release for the film — opening against Eli Roth’s Ice Cream Man, as well as Super Troopers 3 and the rom-com One Night Only.
Michael & Peter Spierig (Predestination, Jigsaw) direct from a script by Fall writers Scott Mann (who also directed the original) and Jonathan Frank.
Harriet Slater (Tarot), Arsema Thomas (“Queen Charlotte: A Bridgerton Story”), and Tom Brittney (Greyhound) star.
Overwhelmed by her sister Hunter’s death, Jax (Slater) connects with Luce (Thomas), Hunter’s fearless friend. To heal, they attempt the infamous plank walk of Mount Kwan in Thailand. After a sudden rockslide leaves them stranded on a fragile plank 3000 feet in the air, Jax must confront her deepest fears and fight for survival to find closure.
The film reunites producers Mark Lane and James Harris of Tea Shop Productions (47 Meters Down, Obsession), Capstone Studios’ Christian Mercuri, David Haring, and Mann via the Flawless banner.
“We were huge fans of the first film and couldn’t wait to continue the journey,” the Spierig Brothers previously commented. “Our aim was to capture the same intensity that Scott Mann and his team established in the original, while adding new, layered characters who will connect with audiences as they endure extreme and terrifying heights.”
Fall 3 has already been greenlit, with Mann returning to the director’s chair.
Keep an eye out for more on Fall 2, including a trailer, as its release draws nearer.
