‘Friday the 13th’ Remake Actor Ryan Hansen Will Star in Horror-Comedy ‘Who Invited Them’
Every housewarming party is a nightmare, if you’re asking me, but the upcoming horror-comedy Who Invited Them is set to truly make a mess of things, we’ve learned today.
THR reports filming has wrapped on horror-comedy Who Invited Them from writer/director Duncan Birmingham, which will star Ryan Hansen from the Friday the 13th remake.
Alongside Hansen, the cast also includes Melissa Tang (“The Kominsky Method”), Timothy Granaderos (“13 Reasons Why”), and Perry Mattfeld (“In the Dark”).
Here’s the plot synopsis for this one…
“Hansen and Tang play Adam and Margo, whose housewarming party is a success. However, one mysterious couple (Granaderos, Mattfeld) linger long after all the other guests have left. The uninvited couple reveals themselves to be Tom and Sasha, wealthy neighbors.
“But as a single nightcap leads to another, Adam and Margo start to suspect these new friends are actually duplicitous strangers.”
Hansen (“Veronica Mars”) played Nolan in Marcus Nispel’s Friday the 13th remake, who went wakeboarding on Crystal Lake and ended up getting an arrow through his head.
Christopher Landon (Happy Death Day, Freaky) is staying busy here in 2024, directing not only the werewolf movie Big Bad but also an upcoming thriller titled Drop.
The project for Blumhouse and Platinum Dunes is being described as a “fast-paced thriller,” and Deadline reports today that Violett Beane (Truth or Dare) has joined the cast.
Newcomer Jacob Robinson has also signed on to star in the mysterious thriller. Previously announced, Meghann Fahy (“White Lotus”) will be leading the cast.
Landon recently teased on Twitter, “This is my love letter to DePalma.”
Jillian Jacobs and Chris Roach wrote the script.
Michael Bay, Jason Blum, Brad Fuller and Cameron Fuller — “who brought the script in to Platinum Dunes” — are producing the upcoming Drop. Sam Lerner is an executive producer.
THR notes, “The film is a Platinum Dunes and Blumhouse production for Universal.”
