A24 & ‘First Omen’ Director Team For Untitled Horror Pic — Emma Corrin, Hunter Schafer, and Sophie Wilde Join Cast

UPDATE: Emma Corrin, Hunter Schafer, Havana Rose Liu, and Sophie Wilde have joined the cast of Arkasha Stevenson’s untitled A24 horror movie. They join the previously announced Josh Hutcherson, Frank Dillane, Caleb Landry Jones, and Whitmer Thomas.

EARLIER: Keep an eye out for Arkasha Stevenson. Last year, she turned “The First Omen” from an average script into a solid horror movie. It was her debut, and its success has led to a promotion for her sophomore effort.

Stevenson has teamed up with A24 for an untitled horror film, and the cast she’s assembled includes Josh Hutcherson, Frank Dillane, Caleb Landry Jones, and Whitmer Thomas. Stevenson will direct from a script she co-wrote with her ‘First Omen’ collaborator, Tim Smith.

While plot details remain under wraps, the film reportedly centers on a bachelor party that spirals into terror. Lars Knudsen and Emily Hildner will produce under Knudsen’s and Ari Aster’s Square Peg banner, with Aster serving as executive producer.
