Brosnan joins CLIFFHANGER reboot

Pierce Brosnan is ready to rock with their reboot of CLIFFHANGER, following his role in the historical action film FAST CHARLIE (2024), in which he played a hitman seeking revenge.

Principal photography commenced in Austria for an updated take on the 1993 film of the same name that starred Sylvester Stallone. Jaume Collet-Serra directs the new movie that is planning a theatrical release and hails from Rocket Science, in partnership with Thank You Pictures and Supernix.

The CLIFFHANGER reboot centers on mountaineer Ray Cooper (Brosnan), who runs a chalet with his daughter in the Dolomites, a mountain range in Italy. When the pair are kidnapped, older daughter Naomi (James) — still dealing with trauma from a previous climbing incident — must overcome her past to save her family.

The original CLIFFHANGER hit theaters in May 1993 from TriStar Pictures and collected $255 million at the global box office. Stallone starred for director Renny Harlin as a mountain climber enlisted to help track down suitcases full of stolen cash in the Rocky Mountains.
