Original ‘Assault on Precinct 13’ Star Austin Stoker Joins Zombie’s ‘3 from Hell’
Spaulding, Otis and Baby will be returning from the dead in Rob Zombie’s upcoming 3 from Hell, a sequel to The Devil’s Rejects that began filming earlier this week. Zombie is now three days into filming, and he’s dropped some casting news on Instagram.
Zombie reports that Austin Stoker, who played Lt. Ethan Bishop in John Carpenter’s Assault on Precinct 13, has joined the cast. Stoker, a Trinidadian-American actor, also starred in Battle for the Planet of the Apes, Horror High and Airport 1975.
Stoker, who has only appeared in a very small handful of films in the past 10 years, is precisely the sort of known genre actor that Rob Zombie often targets for his projects.
Sid Haig, Bill Moseley and Sheri Moon Zombie are all confirmed to return.
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.
