Yet another remake I forgot was happening: Cliffhanger. The redo has been picked up for distribution at the TIFF market.
In an eight-figure deal, understood to be the biggest out of this year’s TIFF market so far, new U.S. distributor Row K has taken rights to the Cliffhanger reboot starring Pierce Brosnan and Lily James.
The reimagining of the 1993 classic, directed by Jaume Collet-Serra (Carry-On), is currently in post-production and is being lined for a 3,000 screen stateside theatrical release in 2026.
And here's a loose synopsis:
The film will follow a seasoned mountaineer, Ray Cooper (Brosnan), who operates a luxury chalet in the Dolomites with his daughter, Sydney. During a weekend trip with a billionaire’s son, they are targeted by a gang of kidnappers. Ray’s other daughter Naomi (James), still haunted by a past climbing accident, witnesses the attack and escapes. To save her family, she must confront her fears and fight for survival.
