The Devil's Light - What We Know So Far

Unfortunately, the release date of "The Devil's Light" is perhaps the most challenging detail to pin down at this point.

When the film was first announced in 2019, Screen Daily reported that it was set to enter production in early 2020. When "The Devil's Light" found a new director in Daniel Stamm, a spring start was already in question, per Bloody Disgusting. In May 2020, Deadline reported that Lionsgate announced it was shifting the release dates for many of its high-profile films, including "John Wick 4," but was resolute that "The Devil's Light" would still land in theaters on January 8, 2021.

It wouldn't be until June 2020 that Jacqueline Byers was cast in the lead role (via Deadline), at which point filming was delayed until later in the year. A Collider article in September 2020 seemed to offhandedly confirm that filming had been completed in Bulgaria. The most recent mention of progress comes from Film Music Reporter, which announced that Nathan Barr had been hired to score the film — three days after it was supposed to have arrived in theaters.

Without more information about the film's status, it's hard to guess when it will come out. However, gearing up for a theatrical release takes time. So, while "The Devil's Light" could arrive sometime in 2021, it's equally likely that it may get pushed to 2022.
