LaKeith Stanfield and Ben Mendelsohn are set to lead Molepeople, a horror thriller directed by Rob Savage.
The film is scheduled to reach theaters on August 27, 2027, with Paramount handling worldwide distribution.
The story follows a man who enters New York City's disused underground tunnels and finds a disturbing community living beyond the reach of the city above.
That hidden society sits at the center of the horror narrative, placing the subterranean setting at the heart of the premise.
Production and Creative Team
Savage directs from a screenplay by Nathan Elston. Savage's previous directing work includes Other Mommy.
Production is expected to begin in the United Kingdom in late November or early December 2026.
Jason Blum, J. D.
Lifshitz, Raphael Margules, and James Harris are producing.
The project brings together Blumhouse Atomic Monster and Paramount Primal, with Paramount distributing worldwide.
Stanfield, an Oscar nominee, has appeared in Get Out, Haunted Mansion, and Death Note.
Mendelsohn's screen credits include Andor and Play Dirty.
The underground-community premise recalls earlier works about hidden populations beneath cities, such as Reliquary, the sequel to Relic that inspired the 1997 Paramount creature feature The Relic.
The available reports do not establish a direct connection between those works and Molepeople.
