Linda Hamilton Returns to Action Sci-Fi in ‘Osiris’ Movie Release Update

by

Legendary actress known for her role in the “Terminator” series is set to return to her famed action genre with the forthcoming sci-fi thriller, titled “Osiris“. Instead of confronting mechanical adversaries, this time around, viewers will see Hamilton engaged in a tense alien standoff. The plot unfolds as Hamilton and her team of special forces are kidnapped.

The film titled “Osiris,” written and co-directed by William Kaufman (known for “Sinners and Saints” and “The Channel”), features Linda Hamilton alongside Max Martini (famous for “Pacific Rim” and “Bosch: Legacy”), Brianna Hildebrand (“Deadpool”), LaMonica Garrett (“1883”), and Linds Edwards (“Homefront”). This upcoming sci-fi action adventure has recently been acquired by Vertical Entertainment for North American distribution (as reported by Variety), which implies that US viewers will soon witness Hamilton’s action comeback, expected to hit theaters this summer. We can also expect trailers and further updates to be released shortly.

As I sat down to watch “Osiris”, I found myself drawn into a thrilling tale of a Special Forces team caught in the midst of an operation, only to be snatched up by an enigmatic spaceship. Awake and disoriented aboard this alien vessel, they soon realize they’ve become the prey for an unforgiving extraterrestrial species. This cinematic experience seemed tailor-made for our beloved character, Hamilton, to rise once more and take up arms in a gripping battle against the odds.

‘Osiris’ Is an “Old-School” Action Sci-Fi Thriller

William Kaufman, the writer and director, expressed admiration for his cast, including Max Martini, Linda Hamilton, Brianna Hildebrand, and creature effects maestro Todd Masters, as well as hinting at impressive creature effects. He stated, “It was amazing to collaborate with Max Martini once more, alongside Linda Hamilton, Brianna Hildebrand, and the renowned Todd Masters, along with our outstanding cast and crew, in bringing this classic action-sci-fi thriller to reality. We filmed the movie as authentically as possible, focusing on aliens, set designs, and stunts – all to stay faithful to the movies we adore. We are delighted to join forces with Vertical Entertainment to share our work with a broad audience who will appreciate our method.

Peter Jarowey from Vertical commented, ‘William has given us an entertaining and modern twist on the classic alien thrillers from the ’80s and ’90s we’re fond of.’ We’re proud to have the iconic Linda Hamilton joining this visually stunning monster movie, and we anticipate that fans will flock to see it.

As a devoted movie enthusiast, I can’t help but reflect on Linda Hamilton’s unforgettable portrayal of Sarah Connor in the Terminator series, a role that truly cemented her status as an action heroine. Most recently, she reprised this iconic character in the critically acclaimed sequel, Terminator: Dark Fate, which hit theaters in 2019. Teaming up once more with Arnold Schwarzenegger, Dark Fate found Sarah battling to protect humanity’s future after her destined savior, John Connor, was tragically killed in his youth. Despite whispers of further Terminator projects on the horizon, Hamilton has made it clear that she is content to hang up her armor. Last year, she declared emphatically, “I’m done. I have nothing more to say.” The story, she feels, has been told and retold so many times that its resurrection seems almost inexplicable. Yet, as we know, Hollywood often thrives on relaunches.

As a passionate film enthusiast, I can’t help but share my excitement about the upcoming fifth and final season of “Stranger Things,” set to premiere on Netflix later this year. Notably, we’ll see Linda Hamilton revisit the science fiction realm with her captivating presence. This promises to be a thrilling conclusion to an already remarkable series!
