As we learned just last week, upcoming Stephen King adaptation The Boogeyman from Host director Rob Savage will be getting a theatrical release from 20th Century Studios, which is notable considering the film was originally set to go direct-to-Hulu. From what we’ve heard, a strong test screening gave the studio confidence to super-size the film’s release strategy.
The Boogeyman comes to theaters on June 2, 2023, and Stephen King himself teases in a tweet this morning that the film’s official trailer will be arriving this coming weekend.
King tweets, “Looking forward to seeing the trailer for THE BOOGEYMAN, based on my story. I’m told it will run during the NFC championship game this coming Sunday.”
We’ll of course have the trailer here on BD as soon as it’s available. Stay tuned.
In the film, “Still reeling from the tragic death of their mother, a teenage girl and her little brother find themselves plagued by a sadistic presence in their house and struggle to get their grieving father to pay attention before it’s too late.”
Sophie Thatcher (“Yellowjackets”) and Chris Messina (Birds of Prey) star alongside David Dastmalchian (Dune, The Suicide Squad), Marin Ireland (Y: The Last Man, The Umbrella Academy), Vivien Lyra Blair (Bird Box, Mr. Corman) and Madison Hu (Voyagers).
Scott Beck & Bryan Woods (A Quiet Place) and Akela Cooper (Malignant) wrote the original drafts of the script, with Mark Heyman (Black Swan) being brought on board as well.
21 Laps’ Shawn Levy, Dan Levine & Dan Cohen are producing.
The original story was first published in 1973, before finding a home in Stephen King’s Night Shift collection in 1978. This will be the first time the tale has been adapted as a feature.
