Charlotte Vega Will Battle “The Foundation” in Next ‘Wrong Turn’ Movie [Cannes]
I broke the news exclusively last October that producers at Contantin Film (who also made the Resident Evil films) were deep into development on a new incarnation of the Wrong Turn series. We had also heard that Mike P. Nelson, who directed the awesome post-apocalyptic The Domestics for Orion, is set to go behind the camera. This was all confirmed.
Now, we’re told that casting has begun with Charlotte Vega (pictured in The Lodgers), who will lead the cast of the new take that will once again take friends to Harpers Ferry, West Virginia to spend a couple days hiking the Appalachian Trail. In this one, they are confronted by “The Foundation”, a community of people who have lived in the mountains since before the Civil War – oh, and they don’t take well to strangers…
The film is currently in pre-production.
Even though the franchise spawned five sequels, one of the most forgotten slasher films of the last two decades is 20th Century Fox’s criminally underrated Wrong Turn, which starred Eliza Dushku, Jeremy Sisto and Emmanuelle Chriqui in a group of six people who find themselves trapped in the woods of West Virginia, hunted down by “cannibalistic mountain men grossly disfigured through generations of in-breeding.”
Fox Home Entertainment took the franchise all the way to 2014’s Wrong Turn 6: Last Resort before taking a break. The first sequel, Wrong Turn 2: Dead End, is where director Joe Lynch’s career began.
Brand new shark attack horror movie The Devil’s Mouth debuts globally on Prime Video on July 29, and the streamer has released the brand new official poster this afternoon.
Kathryn Newton (Abigail, Lisa Frankenstein, Ready or Not 2), Lana Condor (Pretty Lethal), Nico Hiraga, Gavin Casalegno, Tommi Rose, and Tayme Thapthimthong star.
In the film, “Five friends set out on one last adventure along Thailand’s stunning coast, eager for a final thrill before life in the real world begins. They sign up for a guided swim through a remote cave system known as The Devil’s Mouth, a natural wonder that’s as breathtaking as it is unforgiving. Deep inside the labyrinth of narrow waterways, their journey takes a terrifying turn when they discover that a freak storm the week before flooded the caves with sea life.
“The creatures died in the fresh water, but something survived… and it’s hunting them now— fast, silent, and deadly. Every corridor they round is overflowing with anxiety, and every wrong turn becomes a deadly encounter. As panic spreads and their sense of direction slips away, the group begins to fracture.
“Trust erodes, fear takes over, and survival becomes a savage game. In the suffocating darkness, every choice could be their last as they learn that to make it out alive, sacrifices must be made.”
Jeff Wadlow (Truth or Dare, Imaginary) directs the shark attack movie from a script he revised from Aja Gabel (“Sunny”) and Myung Joh Wesner (“Star Wars: Skeleton Crew”).
