Joe Keery and Liam Neeson Face Night Shift From Hell in ‘Cold Storage’

Samuel Goldwyn Films and StudioCanal have released the official trailer and artwork for Cold Storage, a science-fiction thriller with a comic edge that brings together Liam Neeson and Joe Keery for a high-concept survival story set largely over the course of one catastrophic night shift. The film is scheduled to open exclusively in cinemas on 13 February 2026.

Directed by Jonny Campbell, Cold Storage is based on the 2019 novel by David Koepp, who also adapted his own book for the screen and produces alongside Gavin Polone. The trailer introduces a seemingly mundane setting, a self-storage facility built atop a decommissioned US military site, before pivoting sharply into escalating danger when a long-sealed parasitic fungus escapes from deep underground.

Keery stars as Teacake, a fast-talking night worker whose routine shift is upended alongside Naomi, played by Georgina Campbell. As temperatures rise below ground, the organism begins to mutate and spread, overtaking humans and animals with alarming speed. The pair soon find themselves out of their depth, forced to navigate collapsing corridors, infected co-workers and an increasingly hostile environment. Their only lifeline comes in the form of a retired bioterror operative, portrayed by Neeson, who is drawn back into action as the scale of the threat becomes clear.

The cast also includes Sosie Bacon, Vanessa Redgrave and Lesley Manville, with the trailer giving glimpses of a broader crisis that stretches beyond the confines of the facility. While the story remains tightly focused on a small group of characters, the implications are global, with the fungus framed as a potential extinction-level event if it escapes containment.

Campbell, whose recent work spans television and feature projects including Dracula, approaches the material as a blend of grounded science fiction and heightened genre spectacle. The trailer leans heavily on practical effects, claustrophobic set-pieces and dark humour, with Koepp’s long-standing interest in threats rooted in plausible science shaping the film’s central conceit. The fungus at the heart of the story is inspired by real-world organisms, lending an unsettling familiarity to its fictional mutations.

Produced by Polone, whose credits include Zombieland and Panic Room, Cold Storage positions itself as a theatrical crowd-pleaser built around tension, character interplay and escalating consequences rather than sprawling mythology. For Keery, the project marks a return to genre territory following his work on Stranger Things, while Neeson continues a recent run of roles that play against his established screen persona.

With its trailer now online, Cold Storage adds another high-profile genre title to the early 2026 release calendar, and one that Stranger Things fans (and Joe Keery fans in particular) won’t want to miss.
