Lionsgate has debuted the first official trailer for their upcoming psychological thriller Never Let Go, which stars Academy Award-winner Halle Berry (X-Men: Days of Future Past; John Wick: Chapter 3 - Parabellum) in the lead role as a mother doing her best to protect her twin sons from an unspeakable Evil that has taken over the world.
As per the synopsis, "as an Evil takes over the world beyond their front doorstep, the only protection for a mother (Halle Berry), and her twin sons is their house and their family’s protective bond. Needing to stay connected at all times – even tethering themselves with ropes – they cling to one another, urging each other to never let go. But when one of the boys questions if the evil is real, the ties that bind them together are severed, triggering a terrifying fight for survival."
Alexandre Aja (The Hills Have Eyes; Crawl) helmed the feature, with a screenplay from the writing duo of KC Coughlin and Ryan Grassby (Mean Dreams; V-Wars; The King Tide).
In addition to Berry in the lead role, the cast features Percy Daggs IV and Anthony B. Jenkins as her twin sons.
Never Let Go will be the first of two releases for Berry this year, along with the Netflix action comedy The Union, where she'll star opposite Mark Wahlberg. Her recent credits include Moonfall, Bruised, John Wick: Chapter 3 - Parabellum, Kingsman: The Golden Circle, Kings, Kidnap, Extant, and The Call.
She also appeared as Ororo Monroe, a.k.a. Storm, in the 2014 blockbuster X-Men: Days of Future Past, her most recent time playing the iconic part. While nothing's been confirmed just yet, there's been ample buzz that the original X-Men star may be in line for a cameo in the highly anticipated Ryan Reynolds/Hugh Jackman-starrer Deadpool & Wolverine later this summer, but only time will tell.
Never Let Go is expected to hit theaters on September 27, 2024!
