According to our sources, NEON is expected to release their Korean sci-fi epic HOPE on VOD and digital platforms next month, arriving on October 13th, 2026. The film world premiered at this year’s Cannes Film Festival before launching in US theaters on September 9th, 2026.
Please note: NEON has neither announced nor confirmed the release date. As always, release dates are subject to change.
Hope is written and directed by Na Hong-jin, and stars Hwang Jung-min, Zo In-sung, Jung Ho-yeon, Taylor Russell, Cameron Britton, Alicia Vikander, and Michael Fassbender.
In the film, in the remote South Korea village of Hope Harbor, police chief Bum-seok (Hwang Jung- min) and officer Sung-ae (Hoyeon) are called to find a mysterious creature that has wreaked havoc on the village. In the nearby forest, a coterie of hunters, including Sung- ki (Zo In-Sung) set out to track the beast and find themselves hunted instead. But all is not as it seems, and perceptions can be misleading. What begins as ignorance plants the seed of disaster, escalating through human conflict into a tragedy of cosmic proportions.
