Pierce Brosnan is set to star in a Cliffhanger reboot that was originally scheduled for August 28, 2026, though recent reports suggest the release date may shift due to ongoing distribution negotiations.
The action thriller, directed by Jaume Collet-Serra, also stars Lily James in the lead role. The film reimagines the 1993 Sylvester Stallone classic as a contemporary survival story set in the Italian Alps, following a mountain guide and his daughter’s climbing business.
In September 2025, Row K Entertainment secured U.S. distribution rights to the reboot in an eight-figure deal. However, as of late May 2026, Variety and Deadline reported that the film may move from its August 28 slot, with discussions underway for a new distributor. Film Stories noted the project is now unlikely to appear in 2026, potentially shifting to the first quarter of 2027.
