A trailer for a new indie horror feature starring Mickey Rourke, late actor Peter Greene, and Ice-T has appeared online, according to The Hollywood Reporter. A reimagining of the short story The Fall of the House of Usher by Edgar Allan Poe, 3 Days Rising follows Greene as Eric Usher, who attempts to distance himself from his estranged siblings, only for them to pull him back into a situation related to his violent past that tests his resolve and sanity. Rourke will be playing a mysterious villain-esque character named Willy T.
The directorial debut of Craig Cukrowski, with script from his brother, Derek, 3 Days Rising will be produced by the Cukrowskis, Greene, Ice-T, Tim O’Brien, and Noel Ashman. It will also serve as the final lead role for Greene, who passed away in December 2025.
In an interview, O’Brien praised Greene’s dedication to the role, saying,
“Peter gave himself completely to this film — creatively, emotionally, and spiritually. Living on location throughout the shoot fostered a rare level of trust and intimacy that permeates every frame. 3 Days Rising is not only his final performance, but a lasting testament to who he was as an artist and as a human being.”
Cukrowski, who had known Greene for decades, also spoke about the emotional impact the film had on the actor, recalling:
“After Peter screened the latest cut, he called me in tears because he was so happy with it…He oddly referred to it as the ultimate swan song, which I just blew off as Peter being Peter with hyperbole. He was very proud of the work.”
3 Days Rising is scheduled to debut on the festival circuit later this year.
