Plane is scheduled to be released in the United States on January 13, 2023.

Premise

Commercial pilot Brodie Torrance completes an emergency landing after a ravaging storm damages the aircraft. The plane lands on the hostile island of Jolo Island in the Philippines. Soon, the passengers are taken hostage by the local militants of the island. With rescue struggling to find their location and running out of time, Brodie decides to enlist help from the convicted fugitive that he was transporting along his commercial flight. Together, they work to rescue the passengers and escape the island.

Production

On July 13, 2016, MadRiver Pictures acquired The Plane, an original pitch from novelist Charles Cumming, with Marc Butan and Di Bonaventura Pictures' Lorenzo di Bonaventura and Mark Vahradian announced as producers.[2] In October 2019, it was reported that Gerard Butler had joined the cast and would also produce alongside Alan Siegel.[3]

In November 2019, Lionsgate Films acquired distribution rights to the film,[4][5] but in November 2020, it abandoned the project after failing to obtain production insurance that would cover a COVID-19 outbreak, as the studio did not want to risk the film's $50 million budget,[6] and Solstice Studios acquired the rights to the film.[7] However, in May 2021, Lionsgate re-acquired the rights to The Plane, in what Andreas Wiseman from Deadline Hollywood described as a "case of high-profile Hollywood volleyball."[8]

In August 2021, Kelly Gale,[9] Mike Colter,[10] Daniella Pineda,[11] Yoson An,[12] Remi Adeleke, Haleigh Hekking, Lilly Krug, Joey Slotnick, and Oliver Trevena joined the cast.[13] Production began that same month in Puerto Rico.[14] On a podcast, Colter said the film was going to focus more on character development than action sequences.[15] On October 11, 2021, it was reported that filming was close to finishing and that Tony Goldwyn and Paul Ben-Victor would also star.[16]

Release

The film is scheduled to be released in theaters in the United States on January 13, 2023, by Lionsgate.[17]
