Liam Neeson, Joe Keery Battle Killer Fungus in Upcoming Cold Storage

Cold Storage is an upcoming sci-fi horror-comedy thriller set to release in 2026, featuring Liam Neeson, Joe Keery, and Georgina Campbell. Directed by Jonny Campbell and written by David Koepp, the film follows two self-storage employees, Teacake and Naomi, who encounter a parasitic fungus outbreak sealed beneath their facility, which was built atop a former military base. As the fungus mutates and spreads, causing brain-controlling and body-bursting effects, the duo teams up with a retired bioterror operative, played by Neeson, to contain the threat and prevent human extinction. The cast also includes Sosie Bacon, Vanessa Redgrave, and Lesley Manville, adding a mix of gravitas and chaos to the film’s wild tone. The screenplay is based on Koepp’s 2019 novel of the same name, and the film promises a blend of horror, comedy, and action with elements like exploding heads and bizarre occurrences such as elevator-riding deer. Cold Storage is distributed by Samuel Goldwyn Films and has generated excitement for its unique and unhinged approach to the bioterror and zombie genre mashup.
