The Mist is a 2007 Stephen King adaptation directed and written by Frank Darabont, and Filmarks has scheduled a 20th-anniversary 4K return to Japanese theaters for two weeks from January 8, 2027.
The two stories under this name cover a film and a game, and they share only a title. The film is the 2007 sci-fi horror adaptation of Stephen King, directed and written by Frank Darabont. Filmarks announced on November 4 that it will return to Japanese theaters in 4K for its 20th anniversary, screening for two weeks from January 8, 2027 at Shinjuku Piccadilly and theaters nationwide.
The revival comes with a ticketing incentive aimed at groups. Ticket holders get a 400 yen per-person discount when two or more attend, and visitor bonuses are planned with details still to come. That pricing structure is the only promotional detail Filmarks has confirmed so far.
The other story is a separate work with a similar name. NetEase announced Beneath the Mist, an escape-type action adventure game for iOS and Android, developed by Chengdu-based studio Zhizhu Gongzuoshi. Players explore mist-covered areas with two companions, collect treasures, and fight other teams. Eating monster cuisine grants abilities, such as flying or breathing fire from a fire dragon dish. A first test runs August 17 to 23, 2026, for mainland China users.
Nothing in the coverage links the film and the game. The film's current standing is a dated theatrical re-release with a group discount; the game's is an announced title with a mainland China test window. Each stands on its own announcement.
