The Room Returns!

The Room Returns! is an upcoming American romantic drama film produced and directed by Brando Crawford. Starring Bob Odenkirk, Bella Heathcote, Greg Sestero, Kate Siegel, and horror film director Mike Flanagan, the film is a remake of Tommy Wiseau's The Room (2003).

Production
Principal photography commenced in January 2023, for one day. On March 9, 2023, /Film reported that a greenscreen-based remake of The Room was in post-production, with Bob Odenkirk starring as Johnny, Bella Heathcote as Lisa, and Brando Crawford as director, producer, and co-star, through his company Acting for a Cause. The rest of the cast was announced with Kate Siegel as Lisa's mother Claudette, Mike Flanagan as Peter, and Greg Sestero as Chris-R, the only cast member returning from the original film. Other members of the cast include Arturo Castro, Dilone, Rivkah Reyes, Jarad Schwartz, and Cameron Kasky. Odenkirk said the film was not made as a joke nor mocking The Room, but was presenting the material of the original film seriously. The profits of the film will be donated to amfAR, an organization for HIV/AIDS research.

Release
The film was originally set to be released digitally in Spring 2023, but there is no set release date. At a live Q+A in May 2024, Greg Sestero revealed the film is still in post-production and should be finished imminently.
