Lionsgate has released a trailer for “Day Drinker,” the Marc Webb-directed thriller starring Johnny Depp, Madelyn Cline and Penélope Cruz. The film will hit theaters on March 26, 2027.
“Day Drinker” follows a private-yacht
bartender (Cline) as she encounters a mysterious guest (Depp in extra-weird mode). The official logline adds: “They soon find themselves entangled with a criminal figure (Cruz) and connected in ways no one saw coming.”
In the eerie trailer, audiences get a glimpse of a grey-haired Depp, who says, ominously: “My story? Perhaps it’s a tale of revenge. Or perhaps something worse. What if all of this is a ghost story? Or maybe I’m just another day drinker?”
The film will be one of the first Hollywood-supported movies to bring Depp back to the big screen after his 2022 trial against ex-wife Amber Heard; his other film, Paramount’s “Ebenezer,” will be in theaters on Nov. 13. “Day Drinker” also brings Cruz back to the Hollywood studio system after dominating 2026 with a slew if well-reviewed indie productions, including “La Bola Negra,” “The Invite” and “Bunker.”
“Day Drinker” is Cline’s first project since wrapping “Outer Banks,” the North Carolina-set Netflix show that made her a star as series regular Sarah Cameron. Season 1 premiered in 2020, and the show concluded with Season 5 in August.
“Day Drinker” is produced by Basil Iwanyk, Erica Lee, Adam Kolbrenner, Zach Dean and Nathan Kahane, and is executive produced by Webb, Dan Friedkin, Micah Green, Daniel Steinman, Stephen Deuters, Jason Forman, Sam Sarkar, Eric Sherman, Sarah Hong, Scott LaStaiti, Adrián Guerra and Xavier Parache
