Afterburn is an upcoming cinematic adaptation of Scott Chitwood’s graphic novel of the same name. The story takes place a decade after all the technology in the world stops functioning due to a solar flare and follows a group of treasure hunters as they search for immensely powerful ancient relics. If you are wondering when the movie is coming out, this is what we have discovered.
Here’s all the Afterburn Movie release date information we know so far, and all the details on when it is coming out.
Is there an Afterburn Movie release date?
The Afterburn Movie release date could arrive by 2025 at the earliest.
Fans of the source material, the producers, Neal H. Moritz and Toby Jaffe, originally tried to get the film made in 2018, but it ultimately didn’t get off the ground. Now, six years later, their efforts have finally produced the desired results. The post-apocalyptic action-adventure film is slated to begin production in April 2024. J.J. Perry (Day Shift) will direct the movie from a script by Matt Johnson and Tommy Wirkola.
Jaffe said in a statement in early February 2024, ”Afterburn is a terrific action story, combining the fun of Indiana Jones with the near future world-building of Children of Men. J.J. is going to bring this to life in a thrilling way, using real practical stunt work to create authentic, visceral set pieces. Dave is one of the leading action stars in the world today, as well as being an actor with real soul and versatility. So excited to be making Afterburn with them both.”
Given the scope of the film and the story it is adapting, it will likely spent a considerable time in post-production. So, it’s safe to speculate that Afterburn will probably come out in 2025 at the earliest.
This date is an estimation based on the information we have at the time of this writing.
The cast includes Dave Bautista (who is also one of the producers of the film) as Jake, Samuel L. Jackson as Valentine, and more.
