Justin Long and Kate Bosworth are continuing their chemistry on the big screen and off-camera with their latest project, Coyotes.

Aura Entertainment has acquired horror-comedy feature Coyotes for theatrical release on Oct. 3, The Hollywood Reporter has exclusively learned. The cast for director Colin Minihan’s film also includes Mila Harris (Mary), Brittany Allen (Dexter: Original Sin), Katherine McNamara (Shadowhunters) and Norbert Leo Butz (A Complete Unknown).

Coyotes centers on a family who must fight for their lives while trapped in their Hollywood Hills home as a pack of coyotes targets them. It premieres at Fantastic Fest on Sept. 20.

Minihan (Grave Encounters) helmed the movie from a script by Tad Daggerhart (The Expendables 4) and Nick Simon (The Pyramid). The film hails from Capstone Studios, and the producers include Nathan Klingher, Joshua Harris and Ford Corbett for Gramercy Park and Jib Polhemus for Source Management and Production.

“Coyotes is an elevated, nuanced horror comedy with an unsettling atmosphere,” says Aura Entertainment CEO Marc Goldberg. “Led by Justin Long and Kate Bosworth, Coyotes is an unforgettable film that will be on every moviegoer’s mind this fall. At Aura, these are exactly the types of films we bring to audiences worldwide — bold, genre-savvy and creatively unabashed.”

Long and Bosworth serve as executive producers alongside Daggerhart, Simon, Christian Mercuri, David Haring, Roman Viaris, Ruzanna Kegeyan, Jason Carpenter, James Harris, Adam Mirels, Robbie Mirels, Tyler Gould, Michael Sklut, Jijo Reed and John Polequin.

The film marks the latest onscreen collaboration between Long and Bosworth following Barbarian and House of Darkness. The pair tied the knot in 2023.

Other forthcoming features from Aura Entertainment include Code 3, starring Rainn Wilson, Lil Rel Howery and Aimee Carrero; Lilly Singh’s sex-education comedy Doin’ It; and the Dave Bautista-led action movie Trap House.
