A new A24 horror film is looking to enlist actors Josh Hutcherson (“Five Nights At Freddy’s”), Frank Dillane (“Fear The Walking Dead,” “Urchin”), Caleb Landry Jones (“Get Out”), and Whitmer Thomas (had recently played Alex’s dad in Zach Cregger‘s “Weapons“) as the group of talented gents are reportedly in talks for lead roles in the untitled horror flick with filmmaker Arkasha Stevenson (“The First Omen”) set to direct from a script she co-wrote with creative partner Tim Smith (“The First Omen”).
Plot and character details for the mysterious genre flick are being kept under lock-and-key, but the Deadline report says it’ll involve a group of young men getting together for a bachelor party (makes us think of it could easily take beats from extreme gross-out comedies like Tom Hanks‘ lesser known “Bachelor Party” and “The Hangover” by adding a hororr angle to them) that eventually “spirals into terror.”

Lars Knudsen and Emily Hildner will produce under Knudsen, and Ari Aster (“Eddington,” Midsommar”) will exective produce through his banner, Square Peg, with others on the producing team including Smith, Harrison Huffman, and Christina D’Souza.
Some other films that Aster has produced in recent years include “Dream Scenario,” “Sasquatch Sunset,” “Death of a Unicorn,” “Bugonia,” and the upcoming assassin movie “Enemies” starring Jeremy Allen White and Austin Butler.
Josh Hutcherson, best known for playing the male lead in “The Hunger Games” movies, is having a bit of a moment with his video game adaptation “Five Nights at Freddy’s” becoming a rather big box office hit for Blumhouse/Universal Pictures, as the second installment in the horror franchise is heading to theaters on December 5.
