Rob Lowe and James Franco Face off in ‘Confession,’ Arriving November 11

United States: The Daily Wire has set November 11, 2026, for the streaming release of “Confession,” a drama starring Rob Lowe and James Franco that places a former professor across the interrogation table from a man he once taught.

The company also announced a one night screening in 100 theaters across the United States on the same date, giving the film a theatrical event alongside its arrival on the platform.

The story unfolds in Moscow in 1938 under Joseph Stalin. Alexei, a disillusioned former literature professor played by Lowe, is arrested on charges of conspiring with a dissident priest and taken to Lubyanka Prison.

There, his interrogator is Vladimir, played by Franco. The prisoner and the man questioning him already share a history: Vladimir is Alexei’s former student. That relationship puts a personal confrontation at the center of the prison drama.

Lowe also serves as a producer. Jennifer Jason Leigh and Nick Nolte are among the cast, while Ben Shapiro wrote the screenplay and Czech filmmaker Václav Marhoul directed.

In the promotional announcement supplied to Israel News Pulse, Shapiro framed the film around the evils of communism, religious faith and the resolve to uphold moral convictions under pressure. Those themes accompany a premise built around a teacher confronting his former pupil from a position of captivity.

The release announcement comes as The Daily Wire says “Run Hide Fight: Infidels” is on pace to become its most successful scripted film. That remains the company’s assessment of its own release, rather than a final performance result.

For “Confession,” the announced November 11 rollout combines streaming access with a limited cinema engagement. The central encounter is considerably more intimate: two men, a shared past and an interrogation in Stalin’s Moscow.
