One of the most intriguing horror projects coming later this year just got an exciting new look. On hisofficial X account,Jason Blumreleased a new trailer forSpeak No Evil, the psychological horror film that is slated to hit theaters on June 21, 2025. The film starsJames McAvoyandScoot McNairyand comes from directorJames Watkins, who previously directed one episode of the Netflix original seriesBlack Mirrorand multiple episodes of bothMcMafiaandThe Ipcress File. Watkins also has credit for the screenplay ofSpeak No Evil, with original film creatorsChristianandMads Tafdupteaming up once more to pen the script. One half of the duo, Christian, directed the originalSpeak No Evil(2022) and is now passing off directorial work to someone else while still maintaining creative control as a writer.
In addition to McAvoy and McNairy, theSpeak No Evilreboot also starsMackenzie Davis,Aisling Franciosi,Alix West Lefler,Kris Hitchen,Dan Hough, andMotaz Malheez. The film is a remake of the 2022 version of the same name, which is a remarkably quick turnaround to produce another version of the same film.The writers recently spoke about this, citing their desire to produce a less violent version which also doesn’t feature any harm to children. Filmmakers surely go through plenty of drafts and ideas for movies, so it’s nice to see the Tafdup brothers have a chance to make another version of their film, so quickly after the original received so much praise.
