Ridley Scott’s Treasure Island and 24 Jump Street Dates

Call it a reset of the studio calendar: Sony has quietly reshuffled its slate, and the result reads like a promise of blockbuster adventure, cheeky sequels, and unexpected prestige fare landing in cinemas over the next year.

First up on the treasure map is Ridley Scott’s big-screen take on Treasure Island, set to arrive November 11, 2027 (20 Aban 1406). Hugh Jackman will don the boots of Long John Silver in this fresh adaptation of Robert Louis Stevenson’s tale. Jack Thorne penned the screenplay, and the cast includes Owen Cooper and Hugh Grant in supporting roles. At its core, the film follows a young boy who discovers a map pointing to buried riches — familiar ground, perhaps, but steering straight into Scott’s appetite for textured, character-driven spectacle.

Comedy heads will get an early holiday treat: the third act of the Jump Street saga, titled 24 Jump Street, is due December 10, 2027 (19 Azar 1406). Jonah Hill, Channing Tatum and Ice Cube return, and while Phil Lord and Chris Miller step back into producer chairs, Rodney Rothman takes the director’s helm. Rothman co-wrote the script with Jonah Hill and Megan Maloney, promising the same wisecracks and frenetic energy that made the franchise a hit — only dialed up for its latest, audacious chapter.

Sony also shuffled its genre offerings. Helldivers, the screen adaptation of the videogame, moved out of the November window and now lands June 9, 2028 (18 Khordad 1407). Justin Lin directs and Alan Ritchson heads the cast; Jason Momoa is no longer attached. The film charts an elite squad of soldiers battling alien threats — think high-octane, interstellar combat with Lin’s kinetic visual signature.

On the more intimate end of the spectrum, The Surgeon arrives April 2, 2027 (11 Farvardin 1406). Directed by Roshan Sethi, the film is a co-production between Thunder Road and Tango and premiered at TIFF. Michelle Yeoh leads as a brilliant surgeon forced into an impossible procedure on a mysterious patient. Martin Freeman, Laurie Davidson, Yuri Kolokolnikov and Joseph Mydell round out the cast. Tension, ethics, and body-horror-adjacent mystery — all in one operating room.

Comedy takes another swing later in the summer. Narcs marks John Phillips’ feature debut as director and is slated for August 20, 2027 (29 Mordad 1406). Mason Thames and Ella Bright lead, with a script originally by Jordan and Justin Shipley and later revised by Phillips and Jane Stoppnitsky. Expect a tonal mix of cop-comedy and coming-of-age awkwardness; a film that sounds like it wants to make you laugh and squirm at the same time.

Finally, Takashi Yamazaki — fresh off the acclaim of Godzilla Minus One — will helm his first English-language feature, Grandgear, now moved up to January 14, 2028 (23 Dey 1406) from its prior February slot. The film is a Bad Robot production with J.J. Abrams and Glen Zipper producing. Details remain guarded, but Yamazaki’s sensibilities and Bad Robot’s appetite for widescreen spectacle hint at something ambitious.

Schedules shift in this business. But these dates line up a curious mix: a classic-adventure remake by a Hollywood titan, a noisy franchise sequel, a videogame blockbuster, a tense medical drama with a festival pedigree, a director’s debut comedy, and a high-profile English-language turn from a celebrated Japanese filmmaker. Keep an eye on the calendar. Popcorn will be involved.
