Overview
- The Sitges Film Festival officially presented Danny DeVito with its 2026 Gran Premi Honorífic as he attended to present the film Drag produced with his children.
- Photographs and press reports show DeVito using a walking aid on the festival red carpet, and no public explanation or medical detail has been provided for why he used it.
- Drag is described in coverage as a dark horror-comedy directed by Raviv Ullman and Greg Yagolnitzer with Lucy Chet DeVito among the cast and contributions from actors including Lizzy Caplan and John Stamos.
- Reports conflict on the U.S. release timing for Drag, with some outlets saying an end-of-January start and others reporting a 2027 release, and no distributor confirmation was cited in the coverage.
- The Sitges honor and the family presentation place the project within DeVito’s long career in genre and mainstream film and mark a late-career festival spotlight for the 81-year-old actor, director and producer.
