Action icon Jason Statham is set to return to the big screen this month in his new action thriller, "Shelter," and fans in New York have an exclusive opportunity to see it early. Collider, in partnership with Black Bear Pictures, is hosting an advanced screening of Ric Roman Waugh’s latest heart-pounding feature. Following the screening, Waugh, known for films like "Greenland" and "Angel Has Fallen," will engage with the audience in an exclusive Q&A session to discuss the making of the movie.

In "Shelter," Statham portrays Michael Mason, an elite, highly trained assassin who has mysteriously chosen a self-imposed exile on a remote coastal island. His secluded life is punctuated only by the weekly delivery of supplies from a young girl via rowboat. The narrative takes a dramatic turn when the girl, seeking answers about his reclusive existence, confronts Mason just as a deadly storm approaches. Despite his strict rule against interacting with her, Mason is compelled to save the girl from the storm's fury. This act of intervention shatters his seclusion, triggering a chain of perilous events that intertwine their lives.

Forced from his isolation, Mason finds himself battling adversaries from his past who are now closing in on both him and the orphaned girl. Their journey becomes a desperate quest for survival and redemption, as Mason must leverage his formidable skills to protect her against overwhelming odds. The film also features a talented supporting cast, including Bill Nighy, Naomi Ackie, and Bodhi Rae Breathnach, promising a compelling and intense cinematic experience.

This special screening event offers more than just an early viewing of Statham in action; it provides a unique chance to gain behind-the-scenes insights directly from the filmmaker. The advanced screening will be held at The Quad Cinema Theater in NYC on Tuesday, January 27th, with the screening commencing at 7:00 p.m. Immediately after the film, director Ric Roman Waugh will participate in a Q&A session, moderated by Collider’s Steve Weintraub.
