Liam Neeson Battles Deadly Fungus in ‘Cold Storage’ Thriller – First Look at Dark Comedy

Action star Liam Neeson faces a terrifying new threat in the upcoming dark comedy thriller “Cold Storage,” set to hit theaters in 2026 from Samuel Goldwyn Films. The newly released trailer showcases a deadly outbreak at a seemingly ordinary self-storage facility with extraordinary consequences.

Star-Studded Cast Takes on Parasitic Terror

Directed by Jonny Campbell (“Dracula,” “Westworld”), the StudioCanal production features an impressive ensemble including:

• Joe Keery as Teacake
• Georgina Campbell as Naomi
• Sosie Bacon
• Vanessa Redgrave
• Lesley Manville

Plot Details: Military Secrets and Mutating Threats

The story follows two storage facility employees, Teacake (Keery) and Naomi (Campbell), who discover a dangerous parasitic fungus that has escaped containment within a former U.S. military base. As the microorganism rapidly mutates, it causes devastating effects on its victims, leading to explosive consequences – quite literally.

Dark Comedy Meets Horror

The trailer brilliantly balances tension with humor, featuring memorable lines like Keery’s startled observation: “That fucking deer just took the fucking elevator.” Neeson, who’s currently working on Paramount’s reboot of “The Naked Gun,” delivers his characteristic dry wit, including a perfectly timed request to “please ask him to shut the fuck up.”

Based on David Koepp’s 2019 novel, “Cold Storage” brings together an experienced creative team:
