For a while, Tin Soldier looked like one of those mythic Hollywood thrillers: whispered about, shot in secret, and then… nothing. But now, it’s back — and it’s armed to the teeth.
Robert De Niro and Jamie Foxx lead this long-shelved action-cult thriller, which finally found a distributor after gathering dust since its 2022 Greece shoot. Deadline reveals, that Samuel Goldwyn Films will handle its U.S. release, with Amazon MGM taking over in the UK. The wait? Almost spiritual.
Foxx plays Bokushi — a charismatic cult leader who turns broken war veterans into loyal killing machines. De Niro is the hard-boiled military man sent to crush the operation from the inside. But here’s the catch: one of Bokushi’s own (Scott Eastwood) has switched sides, and the fight is about to get personal.
Directed by Brad Furman (The Lincoln Lawyer), the film is a fever dream of loyalty, mind control, and men who worship violence like it’s holy. Add Rita Ora and John Leguizamo into the mix, and you’ve got something more than just a thriller — you’ve got a war sermon wrapped in a red flag.
Tin Soldier isn’t just coming. It’s resurrecting itself.
