Shane Paul McGhie Replacing Skylan Brooks in Lionsgate’s ‘Creepers’; Plus More New Casting

Published

on

Suretone Pictures and Lionsgate are co-financing Suretone’s adventure/horror film Creepers, based on the bestselling 2005 book of the same name by David Morrell, and today we’ve got some updated casting news to share. Deadline is reporting that Shane Paul McGhie (What Men Want) has joined the cast, taking over the role Skylan Brooks had been set to play.

Update – 8/24/22 – 3pm EST: Deadline reports that Brennan Keel Cook (The Pale Blue Eye) and newcomer Cat Shank have also signed on to star in Creepers.

Creepers is the story of a group of young urban explorers who plan to investigate an old, boarded up, seemingly abandoned hotel, only to encounter danger at every turn in the form of a competing group of hostile urban explorers seeking to find a legendary hidden treasure as well as a supernatural being who wreaks havoc on all.

Deadline notes, “McGhie will play Vernon, the fourth Creeper in the group, a wise-cracking tech-nerd who is not doing a good job of hiding his true feelings for Cora, a young woman in the group played by Francesca Reale. Cora is a parkour expert and the key in the group who opens doors wherever they’re closed while keeping everyone honest.”

Jake Manley (Midway), Adeline Rudolph (“Chilling Adventures of Sabrina”), Francesca Reale (“Stranger Things”), Laurence O’Faurain (“Vikings”), Nicholas Hamilton (It: Chapter Two), Javier Botet (REC, The Conjuring 2), and Kai Caster (“American Horror Story”) will star.

Filming is underway in Bulgaria, with the film being directed by Marc Klasfeld, the legendary music video and commercial director who is making his feature film debut.

The Final Destination franchise is returning to life with Final Destination: Bloodlines. With filming now underway, THR reports that three actors have joined the lead cast, including “Chucky” actor Teo Briones.

Brec Bassinger (“Stargirl”) and Kaitlyn Santa Juana (The Friendship Game) join Teo Briones, who played Junior Wheeler in season two of “Chucky,” as the leads in the sixth installment of the horror franchise.

Zach Lipovsky and Adam B. Stein (Freaks) are directing the fresh installment that also includes Richard Harmon (“The 100”, Grave Encounters 2), Anna Lore, Owen Patrick Joyner, Max Lloyd-Jones (The Book Of Boba Fett), Rya Kihlstedt (Obi Wan Kenobi), and Tinpo Lee (The Manor) among the cast.

Production is now underway in Vancouver.

What can we expect from the upcoming Final Destination 6? Speaking with Collider, franchise creator Jeffrey Reddick offered up an intriguing (and mysterious) tease last year.

“This film dives into the film in such a unique way that it attacks it from a different angle so you don’t feel like, ‘Oh, there’s an amazing setup and then there’s gonna be one wrinkle that can potentially save you all that you have to kind of make a moral choice about or do to solve it.’ There’s an expansion of the universe that – I’m being so careful,” Reddick teased.

Reddick continued, “It kind of unearths a whole deep layer to the story that kind of, yes, makes it really, really interesting.”

Final Destination: Bloodlines is written by Lori Evans Taylor (“Wicked Wicked Games”) and Guy Busick (Scream), with Jon Watts (Spider-Man: No Way Home) producing.

Producers on the new movie for New Line Cinema also include Dianne McGunigle (Cop Car) as well as Final Destination producers Craig Perry and Sheila Hanahan Taylor.

This will be the sixth installment in the hit franchise, and the first in over ten years. Each film centers on “Death” hunting down young friends who survive a mass casualty event.

The latest entry is expected in 2025, coinciding with the original film’s 25th anniversary.
