What happens when Jurassic Park’s screenwriter and Zombieland’s producer join forces? You get Cold Storage—a white-knuckle, fungus-fuelled thrill ride heading for cinemas in 2026.
The premise is pure outbreak mayhem: a highly contagious, constantly mutating fungus escapes a top-secret lab, and two inexperienced employees (Joe Keery, Stranger Things; Georgina Campbell, Barbarian) must team up with a grizzled bioterror operative (Liam Neeson, channelling his Taken grit) to stop it. The catch? They’ve only got one night before the microorganism devours everything in its path.
Directed by Jonny Campbell (Westworld, Doctor Who) and boasting a stellar supporting cast—Sosie Bacon, Vanessa Redgrave, Lesley Manville, Aaron Heffernan, Ellora Torchia, Gavin Spokes—this looks set to blend smart sci-fi, rapid-fire tension, and gory spectacle. If the teaser is anything to go by, Cold Storage could be 2026’s ultimate late-night popcorn watch. Hazmat suits recommended.
