Adam Korson, pictured right, who recently appeared in an episode of Jordan Peele’s revival of “The Twilight Zone” on CBS All Access, is the lead of the indie creature feature The Stairs from director Peter “Drago” Tiemann, reports Deadline.
“The film starts in 1997 when 11-year-old Jesse and Grandpa Gene go on a hunting trip deep in the woods. While tracking a deer, Jesse and Gene are separated. As the shadows of the forest grow deeper, Gene finds the deer and Jesse finds something only a little boy’s nightmares are made of.
“Fast forward 20 years later and a group of hikers, led by brothers Nick (Korson) and Josh, set off into the very same woods. Unfortunately for them, nothing goes as planned and they all come face-to-face with the very same creature Jesse discovered all those years ago. This is a story of fear and death and heroism in the unlikeliest of circumstances.”
Trin Miller, Stacey Oristano, and Brent Bailey round out the cast.
Co-written by Tiemann & Jason Lowe, the movie is currently shooting in Seattle.
