Previously set for release in the U.S. and Canada on August 31, we’ve learned tonight that 20th Century Studios and New Regency have moved Barbarian into September 2022.
The horror-thriller will now release in theaters on September 9, 2022. Interesting to note, that’s the same day Warner Bros. is releasing the new Salem’s Lot. Last we heard, at least.
You can watch the Barbarian trailer here.
In Barbarian, a young woman (Georgina Campbell) traveling to Detroit for a job interview books a rental home. But when she arrives late at night, she discovers that the house is double booked, and a strange man (Bill Skarsgård) is already staying there.
Against her better judgment, she decides to spend the evening, but soon discovers that there’s a lot more to fear than just an unexpected house guest.
Written and directed by Zach Cregger, the film also stars Justin Long, Matthew Patrick Davis, Richard Brake, Kurt Braunohler and Jaymes Butler.
Barbarian reteams Skarsgård with IT: Chapter One and Chapter Two producer Roy Lee, who is also behind The Ring and The Grudge. Boulderlight’s Raphael Margules and J.D. Lifshitz also produce with Arnon Milchan. Michael Schaefer, Natalie Lehmann, Danny Chan, Alex Lebovici and Bill Skarsgård are the film’s executive producers.
