Fresh off last year’s Evil Dead Rise, director Lee Cronin will next be directing an untitled horror movie for Blumhouse and James Wan’s Atomic Monster, THR reports tonight.
The Hollywood Reporter previews the project in their exclusive report, “Lee Cronin is rising with a new, mysterious project described as a modern take on something ancient.”
New Line Cinema will be releasing this one in theaters April 17, 2026.
“Collaborating with Jason, James and the wonderful teams from these two storied and massively successful organizations is what perfect nightmares are made of,” said Cronin. “Getting to return to New Line Cinema and my wonderful partners over there is the cherry on top.”
Jason Blum said, “[Cronin] has an intriguing, modern take on something quite ancient that I think audiences will love,” while James Wan called the Evil Dead Rise director “a gifted filmmaker in the world of horror whose storytelling has electrified audiences.”
This is the first project under the new Blumhouse-Atomic Monster merger.
