The Lucid Multiverse is a 2025 American apocalyptic science fiction horror drama film written and directed by Frank Darabont with a screenplay he co-wrote with Greta Gerwig based on an original Wattpad story by Dermot Connolly. The film was produced by Steven Spielberg, Kathleen Kennedy and Frank Marshall under their Amblin Entertainment banner. The film stars Dermot Connolly, Mckenna Grace, Finn Wolfhard, Sydney Sweeney, Lauren Cohan, Jeffrey Dean Morgan and Liam Neeson. In the film, a teenage boy discovers his ability to lucid dream, but ends up making his childish dreams come to reality, unable to go back.

After Dermot Connolly gained recognition for starring in plays in Letterkenny, he was able to pitch a story to Gerwig after meeting her. She quickly spread awareness about the story, which gained the attention of Spielberg, Kennedy and Marshall, and Darabont. Darabont signed on to co-write a script with Gerwig and direct the film, while Spielberg, Kennedy and Marshall agreed produce the film. Sam Raimi and Robert Tapert serve as executive producers for their company Ghost House Pictures. Connolly would be cast as the lead, and the rest of the cast joined the production the following months. Filming took place in London, England from November 2024 to March 2025.

The Lucid Multiverse is set to be released on December 19, 2025, by Universal Pictures.
