Tony and Emmy nominee Jonathan Groff, currently appearing Off-Broadway in the revival of Stephen Sondheim's Merrily We Roll Along, co-stars in the upcoming M. Night Shyamalan film Knockat the Cabin, which will be released in theatres February 3, 2023. Watch the new trailer for the movie above.
Joining Groff in the film are Dave Bautista (Dune), Ben Aldridge (Pennyworth), BAFTA nominee Nikki Amuka-Bird (Persuasion), Kristen Cui, Abby Quinn (Little Women), and Rupert Grint (Harry Potter).
Knock at theCabin concerns a young girl and her parents who are taken hostage by four armed strangers who demand the family make an unthinkable choice to avert the apocalypse.
Shyamalan, Steve Desmond, and Michael Sherman penned the screenplay based on Paul Tremblay's bestseller The Cabin at the End of the World. Shyamalan also directs.
The film is produced by Shyamalan, Marc Bienstock, and Ashwin Rajan and executive-produced by Steven Schneider, Christos V. Konstantakopoulos, and Ashley Fox.
Universal Pictures presents the Blinding Edge Pictures production in association with FilmNation Features and Wishmore Entertainment.
Surrounded by period-accurate, 19th-century holiday decorations lit via candlelight, the 70-minute production is based on Dickens' own script of the classic.
The play comes on the heels of a broader cultural conversation about Dahl's work and the prejudice that was embedded in many of his most beloved stories.
