COLD STORAGE trailer released
Liam Neeson’s career transformation continues to defy expectations, and his latest venture proves the veteran actor isn’t slowing down anytime soon. Fresh from his triumphant return to comedy in THE NAKED GUN revival, where he successfully filled the impossibly large shoes of Leslie Nielsen as the bumbling detective Frank Drebin Jr., Neeson is already pivoting back to more familiar territory with his upcoming horror thriller COLD STORAGE.
The timing couldn’t be more perfect for this genre mashup. After years of establishing himself as Hollywood’s go-to action patriarch through the TAKEN franchise and countless other revenge thrillers, Neeson has been strategically diversifying his portfolio. His recent comedic turn in THE NAKED GUN demonstrated remarkable range, showing audiences a lighter side of the Irish actor while maintaining the commanding presence that made him a household name. Now, with COLD STORAGE, he’s blending that hard-earned gravitas with sci-fi horror elements that promise to showcase yet another facet of his evolving screen persona.
Based on David Koepp’s 2019 novel and adapted by the acclaimed screenwriter himself, COLD STORAGE positions Neeson as Roberto Diaz, a grizzled bioterror operative forced out of retirement when catastrophe strikes a seemingly ordinary self-storage facility. The premise alone reads like a fever dream: Joe Keery’s Teacake and Georgina Campbell’s Naomi are working the night shift at a storage facility built over a decommissioned military base when a long-sealed, highly contagious fungus breaks free from its underground containment. As temperatures rise, this rapidly mutating microorganism unleashes brain-controlling, body-bursting terrors on everything in its path.
What makes this project particularly intriguing is how it represents Neeson’s continued willingness to take creative risks well into his seventies. Rather than coasting on the familiar rhythms of his action films, he’s embracing material that allows him to play mentor to a younger generation of performers while navigating genuinely unpredictable territory. Keery, riding high from his STRANGER THINGS success, brings a different energy to the dynamic, while Campbell’s recent breakout performance in BARBARIAN suggests she’s more than capable of handling the film’s horror elements.
The creative pedigree behind COLD STORAGE adds considerable weight to its potential impact. Koepp’s involvement as both source novelist and screenwriter brings the project full circle, while his legendary work on JURASSIC PARK, the first MISSION: IMPOSSIBLE, and Sam Raimi’s SPIDER-MAN establishes his credentials in crafting tension-filled blockbuster entertainment. Director Jonny Campbell, known for his work on DRACULA, brings gothic sensibilities that should complement the underground claustrophobia of the story’s setting.
Perhaps most importantly, COLD STORAGE arrives at a moment when audiences are hungry for the kind of practical, gross-out horror that dominated the late 2000s. Films like PLANET TERROR and SLITHER proved there’s substantial appetite for horror comedies that aren’t afraid to embrace their B-movie roots while delivering genuine scares and laughs in equal measure. With the ZOMBIELAND producers backing this project, there’s clear intent to recapture that lightning-in-a-bottle formula.
For Neeson, this represents more than just another paycheck or franchise opportunity. At this stage of his career, he’s earned the luxury of choosing projects that genuinely excite him, and COLD STORAGE‘s blend of action, horror, and dark comedy suggests an actor still eager to surprise his audience. The supporting cast, including Sosie Bacon, Vanessa Redgrave, and Lesley Manville, indicates this isn’t a throwaway project but rather a carefully assembled ensemble piece designed to maximize both thrills and character development.
As COLD STORAGE prepares for its theatrical release through Samuel Goldwyn Films next year, it stands as a testament to Neeson’s remarkable career longevity and adaptability. From dramatic powerhouse to action legend to comedic revelation and now to horror survivor, he continues to find new ways to reinvent himself while maintaining the fundamental screen presence that first made him a star. In an industry obsessed with franchises and familiar formulas, Neeson’s willingness to dive headfirst into a fungal nightmare alongside rising stars and seasoned veterans alike proves that sometimes the best career moves are the ones nobody sees coming.
