‘People Under the Stairs’ Star Sean Whalen Will Cross Paths With Rob Zombie’s ‘3 from Hell’
Today is the fifteenth anniversary of House of 1000 Corpses, the film that started it all, so it’s only fitting that Rob Zombie is spending the day filming 3 from Hell, a sequel to The Devil’s Rejects. We’ve got some more casting news today, as Zombie has revealed that Sean “Roach” Whalen from The People Under the Stars has joined the cast!
Whalen was more recently seen in Zombie’s Halloween II, as well as Hatchet III.
3 From Hell boasts the resurrection of Captain Spaulding (Sid Haig), Otis (Bill Moseley) and Baby (Sheri Moon Zombie). Danny Trejo will also be reprising his The Devil’s Rejects character, Rondo.
Zombie just added another regular to his 3 From Hell cast, Daniel Roebuck, who will be reprising his The Devil’s Rejects role of Morris Green, Ruggsville’s favorite TV personality. David Ury, who was recently seen in Zombie’s 31 as “Schizo-Head”, and Pancho Moler, who plays the notorious “Sick-Head” in the same film, also star.
Clint Howard will be portraying “Mr. Baggy Britches”.
The cast also includes Kevin Jackson (31), Austin Stoker (Assault on Precinct 13), Dee Wallace (E.T., The Howling, and Cujo), Jeff Daniel Phillips (Uncle Seymour Coffins in Zombie’s Halloween 2), Richard Riehle (Hatchet), Dot-Marie Jones (“American Horror Story”) and Tom Papa (El Superbeasto).
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.”
