“Locked”: A High-Octane Battle of Wits and Survival Hits Cinemas April 2
From the legendary producer Sam Raimi (Evil Dead, Drag Me to Hell) comes Locked, a pulse-pounding action-thriller that will have you gripping the edge of your seat. Starring Bill Skarsgård and Anthony Hopkins, this electrifying battle of wits and survival explodes onto the big screen nationwide on April 2.

The Story: When the Hunter Becomes the Hunted

Eddie (Bill Skarsgård) is a small-time thief looking for a big score. When he breaks into a luxurious SUV, he thinks he’s hit the jackpot—until he realizes he’s stepped into a twisted trap set by William (Anthony Hopkins), a sadistic vigilante with a ruthless sense of justice.

The car is no ordinary vehicle—it’s a prison on wheels, rigged with deadly contraptions that keep Eddie locked in. With William watching his every move, Eddie must summon every ounce of wit, grit, and cunning to escape. The clock is ticking, and the stakes couldn’t be higher.

In this high-stakes game of survival, only one will make it out alive.

A Clash of Titans: Skarsgård vs. Hopkins

Two powerhouse actors take center stage in Locked, each known for bringing unforgettable villains to life.
- Bill Skarsgård, famous for his terrifying portrayal of Pennywise in It and the upcoming Nosferatu, transforms into Eddie—a desperate man caught in a merciless trap. His intense performance brings raw energy and determination to the screen.
- Anthony Hopkins, an acting legend with an Academy Award-winning legacy, delivers a chilling performance as William. Best known for his role as Hannibal Lecter in The Silence of the Lambs, Hopkins taps into his dark genius once again, crafting a villain as terrifying as he is calculated.
Behind the Camera: The Vision of David Yarovesky

At the helm of Locked is David Yarovesky, the visionary director behind Brightburn and Nightbooks. Known for pushing the boundaries of genre storytelling, Yarovesky blends psychological horror with nail-biting action, making Locked an unrelenting thrill ride.

“Working with Bill and Anthony was a once-in-a-lifetime experience. They are two of the greatest living actors, each having brought to life some of the most iconic villains of all time,” Yarovesky shared in a stamement.

“Together, they are electric! I’m deeply grateful to both of them, as well as to Sam Raimi, for being such incredible creative partners and for trusting me to steer the ship.”

Mark Your Calendars: The Ultimate Thrill Ride Arrives April 2

With intense action, psychological mind games, and powerhouse performances, Locked is set to be one of the most gripping thrillers of the year.
