A new trailer has been released for the Halle Berry/Alexandre Aja horror film Never Let Go, which hits theaters in September
About two years ago, we heard that Halle Berry had signed on to star in a horror film called Mother Earthwith regular Alexandre Aja directing. Last year, the project went into production with a new title, Never let it go. Earlier this year, we saw the unveiling of a teaser poster, which simply featured text on a snakeskin background (you can check out the teaser poster HERE). Lionsgate plans to give Never let it go a theatrical release on September 20th – and with that date just three weeks away, a new trailer for the film has hit the web! You can watch it in the embed above.
Berry is joined in the cast by Percy Daggs IV (The Last Days of Ptolemy Gray) and Anthony B. Jenkins (Florida man). Shawn Levy, Dan Cohen and Dan Levine of 21 Laps (the production company behind Stranger Things and Free pressamong others) are producing the film with Aja. Berry is an executive producer along with Holly Jeter and Emily Morris of 21 Laps. Chelsea Kujawa and Scott O’Brien are overseeing the project for Lionsgate.
Written by KC Coughlin and Ryan Grassby, Never let it go follows a mother (Berry) and her fraternal twin sons (Daggs and Jenkins) who have been tormented by an evil spirit for years and are determined to never leave the protective bond of their family. But when one of the boys questions whether evil is real, their relationship is disrupted, sparking a terrifying fight for survival. Here’s a different version of the summary: As Evil takes over the world beyond their doorstep, the only protection for a mother (Berry) and her twin sons is their home and the protective bond of their family. Needing to stay connected at all times – even tied together with ropes – they cling to each other, urging each other to never give up. But when one of the boys questions whether evil is real, the bonds that bind them are severed, sparking a terrifying fight for survival.
Come onHis previous directing credits include; High Tension, The Hills Have Eyes, Mirrors, Piranha 3D, Horns, The 9th Life of Louis Drax, Crawl, and Oxygen. First we heard about Never let it go (then known as Mother Earth) more than three years ago when it was announced that Mark Romanek had signed on to direct the film. Eight years passed between Romanek’s first film Photo of an hour and its second feature never let me goand it looked like this would be his third film. Eleven years (then) later never let me go. But then Romanek dropped out, Aja signed on, and the project got a title quite similar to the title of Romanek’s second film. Now we continue to wait and see if Romanek will make a third feature.
