‘Hellboy’ Star Ron Perlman Joins ‘Angry Little God’
Hellboy star Ron Perlman (pictured) has joined the cast of Daniel Stamm’s (The Last Exorcism) psychological thriller Angry Little God, an IM Global film that Dimension Films will distribute in the U.S., says THR.
Angry Little God — which began principal photography on Tuesday — headlines Mark Webber (Scott Pilgrim vs. the World) and Rutina Wesley (“True Blood”). Perman isn’t the only new addition to the cast; Pruitt Taylor Vince, Tom Bower and Devon Graye will also star.
The thriller is the English-language remake of the Thai film 13: Game of Death. “The story follows an indebted man who gets a mysterious phone call telling him he’s on a hidden camera game show while also offering him a fortune if he completes thirteen tasks. The man accepts the challenge but is soon over his head as each task is more horrifying than the last.”
Stamm and his writing partner David Birke wrote the script.
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.”
