It has been announced that early development is underway on a sequel to the upcoming reboot of the climbing thriller, Cliffhanger. The reimagining stars Lily James and Pierce Brosnan with Jaume Collet-Serra directing.
The film is currently in post, and it’s unclear at this time if the sequel will welcome back the same talent, or tell a new story. The 1993 original, which took $255M global, starred Sylvester Stallone with Renny Harlin directing.
In the film, Brosnan will play seasoned mountaineer Ray Cooper, who operates a luxury chalet in the Dolomites with daughter Sydney.
During a weekend trip with a billionaire’s son, they are targeted by a gang of kidnappers. Ray’s daughter Naomi (James), still haunted by a past climbing accident, witnesses the attack and escapes. To save her family, she must confront her fears and fight for survival.
James previously described the process of making the reboot as “exhilarating”. The new script is based on a story by Ana Lily Amirpour. Melanie Toast penned the latest draft.
The movie is aiming for a theatrical release, including an IMAX element, and it’s set to hit screens on April 3, 2026.
