Lionsgate has officially changed the release date for Guy Ritchie’s newest action thriller, In The Grey. This comes over a year since the studio successfully acquired the rights to the star-studded project.

“The film follows two extraction specialists who must designate a route of escape for a senior female negotiator,” reads the initial synopsis.

Originally slated for a January 17, 2025 theatrical release, Lionsgate has decided to remove Ritchie’s In The Grey movie from its theatrical calendar in the meantime. According to Deadline, the project’s scheduled release was delayed because the movie is unfinished. It’s unclear how close the project is to completion.

The ensemble cast will be led by Henry Cavill, Jake Gyllenhaal, and Eiza Gonzales.
