Overview
- New Line and Warner Bros. launched the first teaser, poster and title treatment, confirming an April 17, 2026 theatrical and IMAX release in North America.
- The official logline follows a journalist’s daughter who returns eight years after vanishing, turning a reunion into a nightmare, with marketing anchored by the question, “What happened to Katie?”
- Cronin describes a horror‑first, puzzle‑box reimagining that emphasizes domestic dread and investigative tension over adventure tropes.
- Jack Reynor, Laia Costa, May Calamawy, Natalie Grace and Verónica Falcón lead the cast; James Wan, Jason Blum and John Keville produce, and Cronin highlights authentic Egyptian casting and Arabic-language elements.
- The project is distinct from Universal’s separate Mummy revival, and media claims of disastrous test screenings or a title change have been disputed by studio-aligned sources.
