If Sony would have kept its original Flatliners release date, then the project would have had to go up against Lionsgate’s The Hitman’s Bodyguard, starring Ryan Reynolds and Samuel L. Jackson and Logan Lucky, starring Channing Tatum and Daniel Craig.
If the studio would have kept the old release date, it would have been cutting it too close for comfort.
Actor Michael Douglas, who also produced the original Flatliners, returns to produce this sequel alongside Laurence Mark and David Blackman.
It isn’t known if the entire Flatliners cast will be back for these reshoots, but hopefully we’ll have more official details about this project soon.
