The Flood: Jennifer Lawrence and a Harry Potter star join Zach Cregger's new sci-fi thriller

American director Zach Cregger is steadily establishing himself as a major name in Hollywood genre cinema. Building on the commercial success of his recent feature films, the filmmaker is actively working on his next major project, a sci-fi thriller titled The Flood, scheduled for release in August 2028.

A closely guarded plot

While exact plot details remain heavily under wraps, the director has already teased the overall atmosphere of his work, describing it himself as his most disturbing feature yet. Although it is not strictly a horror movie, oppressive tension and scary elements will take center stage. Intensive preparation and filming phases are lined up for the coming months.

A top-tier leading duo

On the casting front, the film is pulling out all the stops with acclaimed headliners. Actress Jennifer Lawrence, praised for her striking return to the spotlight, will take on a major role in this sci-fi production. She is set to star alongside Harry Melling, unforgettable as Dudley Dursley in the film adaptations of J.K. Rowling's novels.

Ever since his beginnings in the famous fantasy franchise, the British actor has successfully diversified his artistic choices, notably appearing in the hit limited series The Queen's Gambit and the indie film Pillion alongside Alexander Skarsgård. His involvement in Zach Cregger's project, initially leaked by Hollywood insiders, solidifies his newfound status as a must-watch talent in contemporary cinema.
