Locked — a new psychological horror thriller starring Bill Skarsgård and Anthony Hopkins — is coming soon to digital streaming.
Locked opened in theaters on March 21. The official summary for Locked reads, 'From producer Sam Raimi comes a relentless horror-thriller where luxury becomes deadly. When Eddie (Skarsgård) breaks into a luxury SUV, he steps into a deadly trap set by William (Hopkins), a self-proclaimed vigilante delivering his own brand of twisted justice.
"With no means of escape, Eddie must fight to survive in a ride where escape is an illusion, survival is a nightmare, and justice shifts into high gear.'
Skarsgård most recently starred as Count Orlok in director Robert Eggers' horror hit Nosferatu, and played Pennywise the Clown in the big-screen adaptation of author Stephen King's IT and IT Chapter Two.
Double-Oscar winner Hopkins, of course, starred as Dr. Hannibal 'The Cannibal' Lecter in The Silence of the Lambs, Hannibal and Red Dragon, and played King Odin in the first three Thor movies.
Locked is estimated to arrive on digital streaming via premium video on demand on Tuesday, April 22, When to Stream reported. While When to Stream is typically accurate with its streaming reports, the streaming tracker noted that Locked distributor The Avenue Entertainment has announced or confirmed the PVOD release date and it is subject to change.
Prime Video has Locked listed for pre-order for $19.99, which will also be the film's digital purchase price. Since digital rentals typically run $5 less than purchase prices on PVOD, viewers can expect to rent Locked for $14.99 for a 48-hour period.
Locked will also be available on a variety of digital platforms, including AppleTV and Fandango at Home.
Directed by David Yarovesky, Locked is an English-language remake of the Argentinian 2019 action movie 4x4.
Raimi, of course, directed such horror classics as the Evil Dead trilogy, the blockbuster Spider-Man trilogy and the superhero hit Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness.
Raimi also recently produced the hit Netflix thriller Don't Move, directed by Adam Schindler and Brian Netto.
During its run in theaters, Locked earned $1.623 million domestically and $289,100 internationally for a worldwide box office tally of $1.9 million.
The production budget and marketing spend for Locked has not been released.
Locked received a 65% 'fresh' rating from Rotten Tomatoes critics based on 66 reviews. The RT Critics Consensus for the film reads, 'Matching up Bill Skarsgård and Anthony Hopkins in a battle of wits, Locked is loaded with plenty of clever jolts even if it doesn't quite know where to park its story.'
Locked also received a 76% 'fresh' rating on RT's Popcornmeter based on 100-plus verified user ratings.
Rated R, Locked is expected to debut on PVOD on April 22.

Screenwriter Discusses Rush To Bring Prime Video's The Elevator Boys Movie to Life — Seriencamp
Going up… ideas for the upcoming movie with The Elevator Boys for Prime Video needed to come together fast. The film with the German social media stars turned boy band is now in production. Juliana Lima Dehne, who wrote the screenplay, told a Seriencamp crowd she had only days to turn around the original ideas for the story. Lima Dehne was speaking at a session about European writers' rooms at the Seriencamp confab in Cologne, Germany, and gave the backstory. More from Deadline Jacob Elordi On Playing A Haunted POW In 'The Narrow Road To The Deep North' And His Growing Zeal For Acting As He Tees Up 'Frankenstein' & 'Wuthering Heights' 'Carrie' Series Officially Sets Summer Howell As Lead; Samantha Sloyan, Josie Totah & Amber Midthunder Among Cast Amazon MGM Studios In Talks To Acquire Hot Video Game Package 'Split Fiction' Teaming Jon M. Chu & Sydney Sweeney 'When Amazon [and the producers] asked me to work on this and come up with ideas to pitch, because they had a deal with The Elevator Boys, I said okay, that's great. They said: We want at least five ideas, completely separate from each other, and because of the time, and because they are travelling the world, we need to present them next week.' Lima Dehne, whose credits include hit German series Maxton Hall, said that given the tight turnaround, she quickly put together a mini writers' room to brainstorm ideas. The as-yet-untitled movie will follow a fictional group played by the real-life German boy band, whose members are: Bene Schulz, Jacob Rott, Julien Brown, Luis Freitag, and Tim Schaecker. 'I brought in two writers whom I adore and I work really well with, and we were just viewing ideas for these five pitches so that The Elevator Boys, ultimately, could pick one to develop into a movie,' Lima Dehne explained. The elevator pitch evidently worked. Cameras rolled on the pic in March with filming in Malta and elsewhere in Europe. W&B Television, the prolific German producer that is part of Leonine Studios is making the film, in association with Amazon MGM Studios Germany for Prime Video. Prime Video is on a tear with younger-skewing drama. Add in the huge following The Elevator Boys have on social and hopes are high for their movie.

Vampire Thriller ‘Sinners' Already Stakes Top Spot On Streaming Charts
Michael B Jordan in "Sinners." Warner Bros. Pictures Sinners — Ryan Coogler's blockbuster horror thriller starring Michael B. Jordan — is already a big hit on digital streaming. Written and directed by Coogler, Sinners opened in theaters on April 18. The logline for Sinners reads, 'Trying to leave their troubled lives behind, twin brothers return to their hometown to start again, only to discover that an even greater evil is waiting to welcome them back.' Coogler's Black Panther and Creed movie series collaborator Jordan stars in Sinners as twin brothers, Smoke and Stack. Rated R, Sinners also stars Hailee Steinfeld, Miles Caton, Jack O'Connell, Wumni Mosaku, Jayme Lawson, Omar Miller and Delroy Lindo. Produced by Warner Bros., Sinners premiered on digital streaming via premium video on demand last Tuesday on such platforms as Apple TV, Fandango at Home, Movies Anywhere, Prime Video and YouTube. As of Sunday, Sinners is already the No. 1 top seller on Prime Video's streaming charts, ahead of Jack Black and Jason Momoa's A Minecraft Movie, which is another Warner Bros. release. Figures for the actual number of purchases or rentals on the Prime Video charts, however, are not available. Also as of this publication, Sinners is in the top spot of Fandango at Home's Top 200 chart and is trending at No. 1 on Movies Anywhere. While Sinners is available on digital streaming, the film is still attracting audiences in theaters. Sinners is projected by Deadline to earn $2.8 million from 1,518 theaters through Sunday, which will boost the film's domestic gross to $272.5 million in its eighth week of release. Combined with the film's $82.6 million in international ticket sales, Sinners has a worldwide tally of $353.1 million to date against a $90 million production budget before prints and advertising costs, per The Numbers. While Sinners has become a blockbuster hit, Ryan Coogler said in a recent interview with Ebony Magazine that he's never given thought to making a sequel to the film. 'I've been in a space of making franchise films for a bit, so I wanted to get away from that,' Coogler told Ebony. 'I was looking forward to working on a film that felt original and personal to me and had an appetite for delivering something to audiences that was original and unique.' Instead, Coogler added, he 'wanted the movie to feel like a full meal: your appetizers, starters, entrees and desserts, I wanted all of it there. 'I wanted it to be a holistic and finished thing. That was how I was asked all about it,' Coogler explained to Ebony. 'That was always my intention.' Sinners, starring Michael B. Jordan, is still playing in theaters and available for purchase or rent on PVOD.
