Director Louis Leterrier has described his new Netflix thriller "The Last House" as the most difficult film of his career, despite its confined setting making it seem simpler than the globe-spanning "Fast & Furious" franchise he also directs. The film, released on 7 August 2026, marks a busy period for Leterrier, who is juggling multiple major projects while also confirming his continued commitment to the upcoming "Fast Forever", the eleventh and final instalment of the Fast Saga.

"The Last House" follows the Delgado family, played by Wagner Moura and Greta Lee, as they attempt to raise their children inside a house that has become mysteriously and inescapably sealed. Leterrier said the production was gruelling because he insisted on practical effects, building a real house and an entire neighbourhood on a soundstage that evolved physically as the story progressed. On "Fast Forever", he confirmed budget remains the biggest obstacle, as the franchise's box office has cooled from the billion-dollar highs of "Furious 7" and "The Fate of the Furious" to an average of around $730 million for its last three instalments, partly due to a steep decline in Chinese ticket sales.
