Development on the film stalled the following year, leaving its future uncertain. In April 2015, The Hollywood Reporter wrote that Lionsgate Films was planning to remake the film, under the title Cubed, with Saman Kesh directing, Roy Lee and Jon Spaihts producing and a screenplay by Philip Gawthorne, based on Kesh’s original take. While filmed, it is considered lost media.
In March 2011, it was reported that Lionsgate Films had filmed an additional direct-to-video film in the series, tentatively titled Cube 3D. It is also revealed in this movie that a character from the first film, Kazan, may not actually be autistic, and was in fact Eric Wynn (or a victim of the same treatment Wynn received: having his brain surgically altered so his behaviour resembles that of a stereotypical autistic savant).Ī Japanese remake, also called Cube, was released in October 2021. At one point, when one technician finds no consent form of a woman trapped inside, it shows that the government also imprisons political opponents inside against their will (the technician finds her picture in a newspaper showing her at a political protest). The Cube appears to be operated by a repressive, totalitarian government. All people trapped in the Cube are death row inmates with their memories deleted and who willingly signed in to be placed inside instead of being executed. The third Cube shows its personnel, consisting of management (known as "people upstairs") and technicians who operate the Cube and oversee the people placed inside. Furthermore, IZON is a private company, but the presence of the aforementioned Colonel and his knowledge of the Cube suggests that the U.S government is involved, or are perhaps trying to take it down. The Cube's disturbing nature and the sheer impossibility of it being a physical construct (since it is technically an endless tesseract) make the location ambiguous. Several exterior shots indicate that it is set in present time. The second film reveals that a company named IZON is responsible for the Cube. The Colonel is referring to the Cube in the first movie and not the prequel because he mentions a feature specific to that Cube. Colonel displays knowledge of the first Cube's existence and layout. Although the main characters are presumably North American due to their speaking English with typical North American accents, there is no evidence of the Cube built in the U.S. The first film is especially most ominous about the outside world there is no indication of where or when the Cube was built, nor the timeline of it (although it is generally assumed to be present day). The plot devices used in Hypercube and Cube Zero (IZON and the government) are likely not (or only very loosely) related to Natali's original idea. The film's writer, Vincenzo Natali, apparently wrote a script detailing the world outside the Cube, but destroyed it after deciding not to create a movie about it. Hints are, however, given throughout the second and third films. The first Cube, in particular, portrays nothing of the world in which the film is set, who is responsible for the Cube, or why the prisoners are there.

The world in which the Cube series is set is kept secret from the viewer of the films throughout.
In order to escape from the prison, they must band together and use their combined skills and talents to avoid the traps and navigate out of the maze, while also trying to solve the mystery of what the cube is and why they are in it.Īn American remake, currently on hold, is in development at Lionsgate, and a Japanese produced remake was released in 2021. In each case, a group of strangers awakens in this mysterious structure, without any knowledge of how or why they are there. In some cases it is possible to detect a trap by throwing an object into the room first, although this method is not always reliable due to the trigger mechanism of certain traps. Some of these rooms are "safe", while others are equipped with deadly booby traps such as flamethrowers and razorwire. Each of these rooms has six heavy vault doors, one on each face of the cube, which lead into adjacent, largely identical rooms, differing occasionally by colour of lighting. The films are centered, with slight variations, on the same science-fictional setting: a gigantic, mechanized cubical structure of unknown purpose and origin, made up of numerous smaller cubical rooms, in which most or all of the principal characters inexplicably awaken in the opening scenes. The films were directed by Vincenzo Natali, Andrzej Sekuła, Ernie Barbarash and Yasuhiko Shimizu respectively. Cube is a Canadian science fiction horror film series.
