Angelina Jolie’s Without Blood Adaptation Sets 2026 Release Date

The upcoming film Without Blood, directed and written by Angelina Jolie, has officially secured a theatrical release date of September 18, 2026. Based on the novel by Alessandro Baricco, the story explores themes of trauma and revenge through the reunion of a woman and the man who spared her life during a violent conflict decades earlier. The drama features lead performances by Salma Hayek Pinault and Demián Bichir, marking a reunion for the two actors who previously worked together in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Although the production first debuted at the Toronto International Film Festival in 2024, its wide release was delayed for two years. Early critical responses have been mixed, yet the project remains a significant milestone as it is Jolie's first directorial effort in nearly a decade. This adaptation aims to translate Baricco’s examination of human healing and memory onto the big screen for American audiences.
