Suretone Pictures and Lionsgate are co-financing Suretone’s adventure/horror film Creepers, based on the bestselling 2005 book of the same name by David Morrell, and today we’ve got some updated casting news to share. Deadline is reporting that Shane Paul McGhie (What Men Want) has joined the cast, taking over the role Skylan Brooks had been set to play.

Update – 8/24/22 – 3pm EST: Deadline reports that Brennan Keel Cook (The Pale Blue Eye) and newcomer Cat Shank have also signed on to star in Creepers.

Creepers is the story of a group of young urban explorers who plan to investigate an old, boarded up, seemingly abandoned hotel, only to encounter danger at every turn in the form of a competing group of hostile urban explorers seeking to find a legendary hidden treasure as well as a supernatural being who wreaks havoc on all.

Deadline notes, “McGhie will play Vernon, the fourth Creeper in the group, a wise-cracking tech-nerd who is not doing a good job of hiding his true feelings for Cora, a young woman in the group played by Francesca Reale. Cora is a parkour expert and the key in the group who opens doors wherever they’re closed while keeping everyone honest.”

Jake Manley (Midway), Adeline Rudolph (“Chilling Adventures of Sabrina”), Francesca Reale (“Stranger Things”), Laurence O’Faurain (“Vikings”), Nicholas Hamilton (It: Chapter Two), Javier Botet (REC, The Conjuring 2), and Kai Caster (“American Horror Story”) will star.

Filming is underway in Bulgaria, with the film being directed by Marc Klasfeld, the legendary music video and commercial director who is making his feature film debut.
