A Hollywood movie featuring scenes shot in Hampshire has set a release date for the winter of 2026.
The sequel to Greenland, titled Greenland: Migration, experienced delays but is now set to hit cinemas on January 9, 2026.
The film, featuring stars Gerard Butler and Morena Baccarin, was partly filmed in Alton back in May 2024.
The original release date was set for March 28, 2025, but was delayed indefinitely, with the film not appearing on Lionsgate's slate of releases for 2025.
In May 2024, Market Street in Alton was transformed into a post-apocalyptic English town with sandbags lining the buildings and the streets filled with burnt rubble.
The film tells the story of the Garrity family, who embark on a journey across Europe after a comet has hit the Earth.
The cast filmed in Alton on May 7, 2024, after a week of preparation to create the set.
A wall of missing people posters was created on a high street building, and Market Square was fenced off for equipment and lighting.
Dozens of trailers, including one trailer labelled John Garrity, Gerard Butler’s character, arrived in Anstey Park on May 6.
Filming began in the UK in April until the middle of June when it moved to Iceland for the film’s final shots.
The original Greenland film grossed £41m worldwide with a production budget of £27m.
The sequel is directed by Ric Roman Waugh, and stars Gerard Butler, Morena Baccarin, Roman Griffin Davis, Amber Rose Revah and Sophie Thompson.
It will hit cinemas on January 9, 2026.
