‘A Haunted House 2’ Adds Three To Spoofer
The crazy hot Jaime Pressly, pictured above, comedian Gabriel Iglesias and Ashley Rickards (“American Horror Story”) have joined Marlon Wayans’ spoof sequel A Haunted House 2, which goes into production Monday, Variety reports.
Mike Tiddes is directing the film via IM Global’s Octane division.
Wayans stars as a man plagued by paranormal events along with returning cast members Essence Atkins, Affion Crockett and Dave Sheridan.
He’s producing and writing along with Rick Alvarez, with IM Global’s Stuart Ford exec producing alongside Brian Kavanaugh-Jones, Steve Squillante and Lisa Blum.
Open Road, which scared up $40 million at the U.S. box office earlier this year with Haunted House, plans a March 28, 2014 release date.
Filming is underway on The Invisible Man director Leigh Whannell’s Wolf Man for Universal and Blumhouse, which will be howling its way into theaters on January 17, 2025.
Deadline reports that Matilda Firth (Disenchanted) is the latest actor to sign on, joining Christopher Abbott (Poor Things), Julia Garner (The Royal Hotel), and Sam Jaeger.
The project will mark Whannell’s second monster movie and fourth directing collaboration with Blumhouse Productions (The Invisible Man, Upgrade, Insidious: Chapter 3).
Wolf Man stars Christopher Abbott as a man whose family is being terrorized by a lethal predator.
Writers include Whannell & Corbett Tuck as well as Lauren Schuker Blum & Rebecca Angelo.
Jason Blum is producing the film. Ryan Gosling, Ken Kao, Bea Sequeira, Mel Turner and Whannell are executive producers. Wolf Man is a Blumhouse and Motel Movies production.
In the wake of the failed Dark Universe, Leigh Whannell’s The Invisible Man has been the only real success story for the Universal Monsters brand, which has been struggling with recent box office flops including the comedic Renfield and period horror movie The Last Voyage of the Demeter. Giving him the keys to the castle once more seems like a wise idea, to say the least.
