J.J. Abrams is directing a top secret sci-fi movie for Warner Bros that’s officially received a title and release date.
The Great Beyond will release in theaters and on IMAX this year, on November 13, 2026.
The mysterious film is confirmed to be sci-fi, but it is not a time travel movie. Expect this feature to remain shrouded in secrecy for as long as possible.
What we do know is that The Great Beyond stars in-demand actors Jenna Ortega (“Wednesday”) and Glen Powell (The Running Man). It also stars Emma Mackey, Sophie Okonedo, Merritt Wever, and Samuel L. Jackson.
Abrams wrote and directed the film, which Indiewire notes was thought to be titled “Ghost Writer.” The filmmaker also produced the film with Tommy Gormley.
It’s also worth noting that Abram’s latest will go up against Ti West’s Ebenezer: Christmas Carol film, opening on the same day.
Stay tuned for more on Abrams’ latest mystery project.

Glen Powell stars in Paramount Pictures’ “THE RUNNING MAN.”
