“Supernatural” Actor Jake Abel Joins the Cast of James Wan’s New Horror Movie
Actor Jake Abel, who played Dean and Sam’s half-brother in “Supernatural,” is the latest to join the cast of James Wan‘s untitled new horror movie for New Line, Deadline reports.
George Young and Annabelle Wallis (Annabelle, The Mummy) will also star.
The film’s working title, we’re told, is Silvercup.
Wan and Ingrid Bisu share “story by” credits, with no writer yet confirmed. The film is expected to shoot in LA this fall, with Wan and Michael Clear producing for Atomic Monster.
Plot details, at this time, are still under wraps. All we know is that it’s an original movie, not part of any existing property, and that Wan is aiming for a “hard R” rating.
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.”
