Sony Dates Bad Robot Horror Film 'Skeletons' for June 2027

Sony Pictures has scheduled the release of the creature horror film "Skeletons" for June 4, 2027. The movie is directed by JT Mollner and produced by J.J. Abrams' Bad Robot Productions. "Skeletons" is described as a contemporary interpretation of the creature sub-genre, focusing on a young boy's perspective as he uncovers a hidden truth about his mother.

The narrative centers on the boy's gradual realization that his parents are concealing a disturbing secret concerning his mother's actual identity. This revelation unfolds through the child's eyes, adding a layer of psychological tension to the creature-feature premise. The film aims to blend elements of horror with a coming-of-age narrative.

While specific cast details beyond the involvement of Brie Larson were not immediately available, the project's association with Bad Robot Productions, known for its work on "Star Wars" and "Westworld," suggests a high level of production value. The June 2027 release date places "Skeletons" in a competitive summer movie season, positioning it among other major studio releases.

JT Mollner, the director, has previously helmed "The Tiger's Apprentice" and "The Butcher." His involvement signals a creative direction for "Skeletons" that may lean into atmospheric storytelling and character development alongside the horror elements. The film's premise offers a fresh angle on familiar horror tropes, potentially appealing to audiences seeking both thrills and a compelling story.
