Cold Storage Sci-Fi Virus Thriller Stars Neeson, Keery Premieres 2026

Cold Storage is an upcoming sci-fi horror comedy film set to release in theaters nationwide in early 2026, distributed by Samuel Goldwyn Films in the US and Studiocanal in Europe. The story follows two young employees, Teacake (Joe Keery) and Naomi (Georgina Campbell), who work at a self-storage facility built on a former U.S. military base, where a highly contagious, mutating parasitic fungus escapes from a sealed sublevel and threatens to cause human extinction. They team up with a grizzled retired bioterror operative, played by Liam Neeson, to contain the rapidly spreading microorganism and prevent global catastrophe. Directed by Jonny Campbell and written by prolific screenwriter David Koepp, who adapted the story from his 2019 novel, the film mixes suspense, science fiction, and survival elements. The cast also includes Sosie Bacon, Vanessa Redgrave, and Lesley Manville, and the movie promises a blend of legacy talent and fresh energy for a thrilling, action-packed narrative. The film is expected to debut at several horror festivals before its wide release and aims to be both a gripping and entertaining experience.
