‘Project X’ Star to Party In the ‘Amityville’ House!
TWC-Dimension’s Amityville is becoming a full house…
Project X‘s Thomas Mann, pictured above center, and “Melissa & Joey” star Taylor Spreitler are the latest to be cast in the Amityville Horror sequel, which began shooting in Los Angeles this week, Dread Central reports.
They join the previously announced Jennifer Jason Leigh, McKenna Grace, Bella Throne and Cameron Monaghan.
Leigh stars as lead character Joan, a single mother who moves her three kids into the Amityville house, which of course has a very dark history.
Maniac remake director Franck Khalfoun will be getting behind the camera for the non-found-footage sequel, in theaters January 2, 2015.
Daniel Farrands and Casey La Scala co-wrote the script and are expected to produce with Jason Blum.
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.”
