Reported: Lizard Music sets Christmas 2027 theatrical release

Evidence label: Reported

The Hollywood Reporter reports that Amazon MGM Studios will release Lizard Music in theaters on December 25, 2027. The film is directed and written by Benny Safdie, adapts Daniel Pinkwater’s novel, and is led by Dwayne Johnson.

The release-date report also identifies the project as a hybrid live-action/CGI feature and lists a cast including Theo Clark Leber, Alicia Silverstone, Tim Heidecker, Regina Hall, Colman Domingo, Jeff Goldblum, Rachel McAdams, Andrew Dice Clay and David Krumholtz.

Why it matters

The Christmas 2027 date places Lizard Music on a defined theatrical-release track rather than leaving it at the package or casting stage. It is a meaningful signal for release-watch, but it is not a guarantee that the date will hold: distributors can move dates, and Amazon MGM’s announcement is reported here through trade coverage rather than a directly accessible studio release.

Context

Deadline previously reported the United Artists/Amazon MGM package and has continued to report casting developments, including the October voice-cast additions. Those reports support the project’s status and scale; the December 25, 2027 date is the new development covered here.

Reel Radar will mark the Movie File as Reported until Amazon MGM or United Artists publishes a direct release notice.
