Los Angeles, Aug 15 (UNI) RLJE Films and Shudder have acquired the rights to the horror thriller directed by Ryan Prows with a plan to release the movie theatrically in 2026.

Co-written by Prows and Shaye Ogbonna (The Penguin), along with Tim Cairo and Jake Gibson, the story centres on an LAPD officer who must put aside his differences with the area’s street gangs when he discovers a local police task force is harbouring a horrific secret that endangers the residents of the housing projects he grew up in.
Jermaine Fowler leads a cast that includes Justin Long (Barbarian), R J Cyler (The Harder They Fall), Freddie Gibbs (Down with the King), C M Punk (Girls on the Third Floor), Y G (White Boy Rick), Flying Lotus (Ash), Dermot Mulroney (Scream IV), Jon Oswald (Lowlife) and Nicki Micheaux (The Shield).
“I am thrilled that we’re partnering with RLJE and Shudder to bring Night Patrol to theaters. It’s been a long road to get here, and we couldn’t have asked for a better team to help push this fun, rollercoaster of a film out into the world,” stated Prows.
Night Patrol is produced by David S. Goyer and Keith Levine for Phantom Four, James Harris for Tea Shop Films, and Josh Goldbloom
Exec producers includes XYZ and Matthew Helderman, Luke Taylor and Grady Craig for Bondit, and Mark Lane for Tea Shop Films.
