Directed by David Robert Mitchell | Written by David Robert Mitchell
Starring Anne Hathaway, Ewan McGregor, Maisy Stella, Christian Convery
Original title: The End of Oak Street
The released synopsis follows the Platt family after an unexplained cosmic event that transports Oak Street into an unknown realm. The trailer notably shows a sharp physical rupture around the neighborhood, as if the street had been severed from the real world to be dropped somewhere else. This concrete portrayal of the phenomenon sets a narrative centered on disorientation and the struggle to rebuild their shared bearings.
The opening images follow a family unit in a stable, everyday setting, before ushering in a more hostile atmosphere. Several shots hint that the new space conceals tangible threats, notably a prehistoric creature glimpsed through a window. These elements confirm that the film fuses family survival, adventure, and fantastical imagery, in keeping with David Robert Mitchell's genre cinema.
The project is produced, among others, by J.J. Abrams through Bad Robot, alongside Hannah Minghella, Jon Cohen, Matt Jackson and Tommy Harper. David Robert Mitchell also handles the screenplay. The technical team features director of photography Michael Gioulakis, production designer Maya Shimoguchi, editor John Axelrad and composer Michael Giacchino.
Distributed by Warner Bros. Pictures, The End of Oak Street is set to hit international theaters from August 12, 2026, with an IMAX release also planned.
