“Stranger Things” Star and Mark Hamill Go On a ‘Hallowaiian’ Horror Adventure In Hawaii
Star Wars star Mark Hamill and “Stranger Things” breakout Noah Schnapp have boarded the voice cast of feature animation Hallowaiian: Adventure Hawaii, reports ScreenDaily.
They join the previously announced Teilor Grubbs and Mark Dacascos (both Hawaii Five-O alumni) with Tia Carrere (Wayne’s World) and Kiefer O’Reilly (Howard Lovecraft).
The family adventure is set over the course of one Halloween evening on the islands of Hawaii.
“After releasing a mythical monster upon the islands, a group of three young friends must use local legends to restore peace to their home.”
The film is being directed by Sean Patrick O’Reilly at Arcana Studios whose credits include Pixies and Howard Lovecraft. The screenplay was written by David Swift, Scott Owen and Steven Meier.
Viva Pictures has US rights and is planning to release the film in time for Halloween 2018.

In addition to Leigh Whannell’s upcoming Universal Monsters movie Wolf Man, Julia Garner (The Royal Hotel) has also joined the cast of Weapons, THR has announced tonight.
Weapons is the new horror movie from New Line Cinema and director Zach Cregger (Barbarian), with Julia Garner joining the previously announced Josh Brolin (Dune 2).
The upcoming Weapons is from writer/director Zach Cregger, who will also produce alongside his Barbarian producing team: Roy Lee of Vertigo and J.D. Lifshitz and Raphael Margules of BoulderLight Pictures. Vertigo’s Miri Yoon also produces.
The Hollywood Reporter teases, “Plot details for Weapons are being kept holstered but it is described as a multi and inter-related story horror epic that tonally is in the vein of Magnolia, the 1999 actor-crammed showcase from filmmaker Paul Thomas Anderson.”
Cregger was a founding member and writer for the New York comedy troupe “The Whitest Kids U’Know,” which he started while attending The School of Visual Arts. The award-winning group’s self-titled sketch comedy show ran for five seasons on IFC-TV and Fuse. He was also a series regular on Jimmy Fallon’s NBC series “Guys with Kids” and the TBS hit series “Wrecked,” and was featured in a recurring role on the NBC series “About a Boy.”
Weapons will be distributed worldwide by Warner Bros. Pictures.
