The weekend before summer 2027 is getting quite bulky, so Warner Bros is shifting the release date of its special forces commando pic F.A.S.T. to mid-May next year, specifically May 14, a frame where it launched Final Destination: Bloodlines and more recently Mortal Kombat II.
The film, which reps the feature directorial debut of TV episodic director Ben Richardson (1883, 1923), follows a former special forces commando tapped by the DEA to lead a black-ops strike team against CIA-protected drug dealers.
Brandon Sklenar, Sam Claflin, Juliana Canfield, Trevante Rhodes, LaKeith Stanfield and Jason Clarke star in a movie that’s written by Taylor Sheridan. Producers are David Heyman and Jeffrey Clifford of Heyday Films and Sheridan and Jenny Wood of Bosque Ranch Productions.
F.A.S.T. moves away from Amazon MGM Studios’ Spaceballs: The New One and Neon’s Chloe Dumont thriller A Place in Hell and to a weekend where it’s currently the only major studio wide entry.
It had previously been slated for April 23, 2027.
