"The plane... it's here." A new twist on the ABC TV series that starred Ricardo Montalbán and Hervé Villechaize and originally ran from 1977–1984, Blumhouse's Fantasy Island (which reteams Truth or Dare director Jeff Wadlow with star Lucy Hale) will arrive in theaters on Valentine's Day, and ahead of its release, Sony has unveiled the film's official trailer that shows how quickly paradise can become a living hell.
Directed by Wadlow from a screenplay he wrote with Chris Roach & Jillian Jacobs (based on the TV series created by Gene Levitt), Fantasy Island stars Michael Peña, Maggie Q, Lucy Hale, Austin Stowell, Portia Doubleday, Jimmy O. Yang, Ryan Hansen, and Michael Rooker. The film is produced by Jason Blum and Marc Toberoff, with Jeff Wadlow, Couper Samuelson, and Jeanette Volturno executive producing.
Sony will release Fantasy Island in theaters on Friday, February 14th, aka Valentine's Day. You can check out the official trailer and poster below, and stay tuned to Daily Dead for more updates.
