Brie Larson will star in Skeletons, a psychological horror directed by JT Mollner and produced by J.J. Abrams’ Bad Robot, adapting Philipp Fracassi’s short story Fail-Safe. The film follows a young boy who discovers a disturbing secret about his mother, with a cast including Kyle Gallner, Daithí Ó hAragáin, John Goodman, Willa Fitzgerald, Ione Skye, and Keith Carradine. Brian Duffield wrote the first draft, with Mollner making revisions, and FilmNation’s Infrared, Assemble Media, and Bad Robot co-producing alongside executive producers Larson and Fracassi. Skeletons is set for a June 4, 2027 release, with Sony Pictures’ Columbia handling distribution. The project reunites Larson with Goodman from Kong: Skull Island and connects to Abrams’ broader Bad Robot film slate. The reporting on Skeletons has emphasized its high-profile talent and its basis in a chilling literary short story, signaling a notable entry for summer 2027 cinema.
