Karyn Kusama is reportedly attached to direct a Mouthwashing film.
Sony reportedly acquired the feature-film rights, with Matt Manfredi and Phil Hay attached to write and Scott Derrickson to produce.
Sony would have acquired the feature-film rights to Mouthwashing, with Karyn Kusama attached to direct and Scott Derrickson to produce. Rock Paper Shotgun and Engadget both carry the deal. Neither points to a Sony announcement, so the project remains unconfirmed.
The team would include more than a director and a producer, with Matt Manfredi and Phil Hay attached to write the script.
In my view, Kusama's reported attachment is an encouraging sign, though it remains unconfirmed.
What the film would adapt
Mouthwashing follows the crew of a stranded spaceship as they lose their grip on reality.
Anyone who wants to play the source first has options. Mouthwashing launched on PC in 2024. As of October 29, 2026, it also runs on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X/S, as well as Nintendo Switch. Xbox Game Pass also includes Mouthwashing.
What the film does not have is a release date. For now, it is a reported rights deal and four names, and the question Mouthwashing players will ask first is still open: how long before that stranded crew reaches a screen.
