Production

In March 2021, Dan Kunka's spec script Lift was acquired by Netflix, with Simon Kinberg's Genre Pictures and Matt Reeves' 6th & Idaho set to produce.[6] In September, F. Gary Gray was set to direct and Kevin Hart was attached to star and produce.[7]

Principal photography took place from February to May 2022 in Italy and Northern Ireland.[8] Filming occurred in March at Belfast's Harbour Studios.[9] Scenes were shot in Trieste on the Miramare Castle grounds in late May.[10]

Release

Lift is set to be released on Netflix on January 12, 2024.[11] It was originally scheduled to be released on August 25, 2023,[12] however, it was postponed to its current date, due to the impact of the 2023 SAG-AFTRA strike in the United States on the film's promotion.[11]
