Vertical acquires U.S. rights to Cliffhanger reboot

Cliffhanger reboot Vertical distribution film acquisition Jaume Collet-Serra theatrical release

Vertical has acquired the U.S. distribution rights to the upcoming Cliffhanger reboot, directed by Jaume Collet-Serra. The acquisition secures a theatrical future for the film following the financial collapse of the original distributor, Row K, which had left several high-profile titles in limbo.

Starring Lily James and Pierce Brosnan, the film is a reimagining of the 1993 Sylvester Stallone action hit. The plot is set in the Dolomites, where a mountaineer and his daughter must fight to save their family after a kidnapping attempt by a ruthless gang.

Vertical is currently targeting a wide theatrical release in the United States for spring 2027.
