Summary
- Sci-fi thriller about a man trapped in a mysterious hotel room
- Film produced by Mike Cowap, Adam McKay, and Todd Schulman

On September 29th, 2025, a new mind-bending sci-fi thriller was announced, set to be produced by a team including Mike Cowap of Princess Pictures and Adam McKay and Todd Schulman of HyperObject Industries.
The film follows a man who wakes up trapped in a mysterious hotel room, completely alone in this perplexing prison. His only chance for escape lies in an unexpected form of teamwork - with himself. This unique premise is the latest project from director Shanks, who made waves earlier this year with his body horror comedy "Together" at the Sundance Film Festival.
"Together" not only earned rave reviews, but also secured one of the bigger acquisition deals at Sundance when Neon came in to distribute the film. The indie horror went on to gross $32 million globally this summer, a strong performance amidst the blockbuster tentpole season. Now, with Shanks' new film "Hotel Hotel Hotel Hotel" in the works, A24 has quickly moved to secure the distribution rights, eager to be the home for the director's next captivating project.
