‘Friday the 13th’ Remake Actor Ryan Hansen Will Star in Horror-Comedy ‘Who Invited Them’
Every housewarming party is a nightmare, if you’re asking me, but the upcoming horror-comedy Who Invited Them is set to truly make a mess of things, we’ve learned today.
THR reports filming has wrapped on horror-comedy Who Invited Them from writer/director Duncan Birmingham, which will star Ryan Hansen from the Friday the 13th remake.
Alongside Hansen, the cast also includes Melissa Tang (“The Kominsky Method”), Timothy Granaderos (“13 Reasons Why”), and Perry Mattfeld (“In the Dark”).
Here’s the plot synopsis for this one…
“Hansen and Tang play Adam and Margo, whose housewarming party is a success. However, one mysterious couple (Granaderos, Mattfeld) linger long after all the other guests have left. The uninvited couple reveals themselves to be Tom and Sasha, wealthy neighbors.
“But as a single nightcap leads to another, Adam and Margo start to suspect these new friends are actually duplicitous strangers.”
Hansen (“Veronica Mars”) played Nolan in Marcus Nispel’s Friday the 13th remake, who went wakeboarding on Crystal Lake and ended up getting an arrow through his head.
Filming is underway on The Invisible Man director Leigh Whannell’s Wolf Man for Universal and Blumhouse, which will be howling its way into theaters on January 17, 2025.
Deadline reports that Matilda Firth (Disenchanted) is the latest actor to sign on, joining Christopher Abbott (Poor Things), Julia Garner (The Royal Hotel), and Sam Jaeger.
The project will mark Whannell’s second monster movie and fourth directing collaboration with Blumhouse Productions (The Invisible Man, Upgrade, Insidious: Chapter 3).
Wolf Man stars Christopher Abbott as a man whose family is being terrorized by a lethal predator.
Writers include Whannell & Corbett Tuck as well as Lauren Schuker Blum & Rebecca Angelo.
Jason Blum is producing the film. Ryan Gosling, Ken Kao, Bea Sequeira, Mel Turner and Whannell are executive producers. Wolf Man is a Blumhouse and Motel Movies production.
In the wake of the failed Dark Universe, Leigh Whannell’s The Invisible Man has been the only real success story for the Universal Monsters brand, which has been struggling with recent box office flops including the comedic Renfield and period horror movie The Last Voyage of the Demeter. Giving him the keys to the castle once more seems like a wise idea, to say the least.
