GOOD LUCK, HAVE FUN, DON’T DIE Updated Teaser Poster Revealed for Gore Verbinski’s Mind-Bending Sci-Fi Adventure
Briarcliff Entertainment has unveiled an updated teaser poster for GOOD LUCK, HAVE FUN, DON’T DIE, the latest feature from filmmaker Gore Verbinski, and it’s exactly the kind of strange, playful, and ominous tease you’d expect from the director behind The Ring, Pirates of the Caribbean, and Rango.
Set for an exclusive theatrical release on February 13, 2026, the film promises a genre-blending sci-fi ride that leans into paranoia, dark humor, and end-of-the-world tension. The newly revealed poster keeps details deliberately cryptic, hinting at high stakes and fractured reality without giving too much away—very much in line with Verbinski’s love for controlled chaos.
The premise is deceptively simple and immediately unsettling:
A man claiming to be from the future storms an iconic Los Angeles diner, taking the patrons hostage—not for ransom, but to recruit them. His mission? Assemble an unlikely team capable of saving the world before it’s too late.
That setup alone places GOOD LUCK, HAVE FUN, DON’T DIE squarely in the lineage of high-concept sci-fi thrillers that thrive on confined spaces, moral tension, and escalating psychological pressure. If the teaser poster is any indication, the film is less about flashy spectacle and more about ideas colliding under extreme circumstances.
Written by Matthew Robinson and produced by Verbinski alongside Robert Kulzer, Erwin Stoff, Oly Obst, and Denise Chamian, the film marks a return to original, adult-oriented genre storytelling for Verbinski. The teaser poster’s tone—equal parts playful and foreboding—suggests a film interested in existential dread without losing its sense of humor.
For fans of smart sci-fi that toys with fate, time, and human behavior under pressure, GOOD LUCK, HAVE FUN, DON’T DIE is quickly shaping up to be one of early 2026’s most intriguing releases.
The film opens exclusively in theaters February 13, 2026. Keep an eye out—because if the future really is knocking, it doesn’t sound friendly.
