EXCLUSIVE: The Lionsgate Premiere and Suretone Pictures movie Creepers is getting retitled as Do Not Enter and it’s also landed a limited domestic release of March 20 along with a new trailer and one sheet.
The Marc Klasfeld directed movie, which we first told you about, is based on the novel by David Morrell (who also wrote First Blood) and follows thrill-seeking urban explorers known as the Creepers gang who love pushing things to the edge. Their latest and biggest stunt yet entails livestreaming from New Jersey’s abandoned Paragon Hotel. With its mobster past, supposed ghosts, and rumored stash of $300 million, the Paragon is catnip to the Creepers, a surefire way to increase their fanbase. But fear has other plans. Daring to enter the Paragon, not heeding the warnings, the Creepers fend off deadly rivals while supernatural creatures stalk them from the shadows, testing their endurance, sanity, and willingness to pay fame’s heavy price.
Do Not Enter stars Jake Manley, Adeline Rudolph, Francesca Reale, Shane Paul McGhie, Kai Caster, Javier Botet, with Nicholas Hamilton, and Laurence O’Fuarain. Stephen Susco, Spencer Mandel and Dikega Hadnot adapted the screenplay. Jordan Schur produced through his Suretone Pictures label. The pic was first announced in 2022, however, it took a longer arc to complete, we understand, in order to finish VFX. There was also a delay from 2023 strikes. The plan was always for this movie to be a limited theatrical release for Lionsgate in addition to a multi-platform programmer.
Schur has a longterm relationship collaborating Lionsgate dating back to the critically acclaimed 2011 Tom Hardy-Nick Nolte-Joel Edgerton theatrical release Warrior.
Schur, Chairman and CEO of Suretone Pictures, said: “Lionsgate has been an extraordinary partner and we are thrilled to be releasing Do Not Enter next month. This movie will have audiences on the edge of their seats and I’m thrilled that this story will be available for moviegoers to discover on the big screen.”
