US EditionJamie Lee Curtis' Murder, She Wrote Movie Delayed
The film now avoids a crowded Christmas slate as Universal shifts it away from three major sequels, with plot details still under wraps.
- Universal Pictures rescheduled the Murder, She Wrote reboot starring Jamie Lee Curtis from December 22, 2027, to February 4, 2028. The studio provided no official reason for the shift.
- The move avoids a crowded Christmas 2027 calendar, as Disney's Avengers: Secret Wars, Warner Bros.' The Lord of the Rings: The Hunt for Gollum, and Lionsgate's The Housemaid's Secret all open December 17.
- Pitch Perfect filmmaker Jason Moore directs the reboot, with producers Amy Pascal, Phil Lord, Christopher Miller, and Aditya Sood. Dumb Money writers Lauren Schuker Blum and Rebecca Angelo penned the screenplay.
- Universal believes February is a "better date for the playability of this type of movie instead of Christmas," according to reports. No other major titles are scheduled for that date.
- Curtis portrays iconic crime writer Jessica Fletcher, a role famously originated by Dame Angela Lansbury in the original series. She recently confirmed she is "very excited" about the role.
