Neon will release its thriller Cuckoo starring Hunter Schafer, while MGM drops The Fire Inside starring Brian Tyree Henry and Ryan Destiny.

Also hitting theaters that day is Lionsgate's video game adaptation Borderlands and Warner Bros.' Trap with Josh Hartnett. 

Baldoni himself optioned the novel in 2019 through his Wayfarer Entertainment, while setting himself to star alongside Lively and co-write the adaptation.

The story follows Lily (Lively), a woman who falls for a man named Ryle (Baldoni), though a traumatic incident triggers past memories.

Her relationship is complicated further when the first love of her life - Atlas (Brandon Sklenar) - returns into her life.

FIlming had briefly begun in May 2023 when the writers strike put a halt to production, which was further halted by the actors strike.

Production finally resumed in New Jersey in early January 2024, though it's unclear how much filming is left on the project.

The cast also includes Jenny Slate, Hasan Minhaj, Amy Morton and Alex Neustaedter and Isabella Ferrer, who play the young Atlas and Lily.
