What Send Help’s Filming Wrap Means For The Movie
Will It Move Up Its Release Date?
Send Helpstarted filming this past February in multiple locations – Sydney, Los Angeles, and Thailand – and wrapped filming three months later on April 17, which, as a horror film, is a relatively shorter shoot compared toSam Raimi’s other movies, including his two recent tentpoles, Disney’sOz the Great and Powerfuland Marvel’sDoctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness. In turn,Send Helpwill have plenty of time to meet its previously scheduled release dateof June 11, 2025.
However, January is generally a busy time for horror movies, and next year is already crowded with several releases, including theM3GANspinoffSOULM8TEand the second installment in the28 Years Latertrilogy, subtitledThe Bone Temple. WithSend Helphaving wrapped filming eight months ahead of its scheduled release date,it’s possible the movie could move up to avoid this overly crowded window.Send Helpshouldn’t require that long of a post-production window, so it could probably be ready to release by August.
Our Take On Send Help’s Filming Wrap
It’s An Exciting Update For Sam Raimi
Send Help’s filming wrap is not only an important production update, but it’s also exciting to see Sam Raimi returning to horror for the first time since 2009’sDrag Me to Hell. However,Send Helpis unlike any horror film Raimi has helmed before, since it’s also very much a survival movie about characters stranded on an island, and has been described as a cross betweenMiseryandCastaway.Send Helpis a unique project for Raimi, and with it having already wrapped filming, hopefully audiences can see it sooner rather than later.
