With filming kicking off in mere days on director André Øvredal‘s adaptation of Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark for CBS Films, which is being produced by Guillermo del Toro, it’s only natural that we’re finally getting casting news. We’ve learned tonight that young actress Zoe Colletti (Annie) is part of the film’s ensemble cast.
Colletti will play a character named Stella Michaels.
“Inspired by one of the most terrifying book series of all time, Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark follows a group of teens who must solve the mystery surrounding a wave of spectacularly horrific deaths in their small town.”
Kevin Hageman and Dan Hageman (LEGO Movie, Trollhunters: Tales of Arcadia) co-wrote the screenplay with Academy Award-winner Guillermo del Toro and Patrick Melton & Marcus Dunstan (The Collector, Saw IV-VII, Feast, Piranha 3D) from the bestselling trilogy of books by Alvin Schwartz.
The film is being produced by Guillermo del Toro as well as Sean Daniel and Jason Brown of Hivemind along with Academy Award-winner J. Miles Dale and Elizabeth Grave.
Scary Stories is expected to release in 2019.
