Lionsgate is working on an entire trilogy of new The Strangers movies, with Madelaine Petsch (“Riverdale”) and Froy Gutierrez (Hocus Pocus 2) on board to star in the first movie. Additionally, we’ve learned today that Rachel Shenton (The Silent Child) has signed on.
“She will be appearing as Debbie, sister to Madelaine Petsch’s character.”
Based on the original 2008 cult horror franchise, the project features Petsch, who drives cross-country with her longtime boyfriend (Gutierrez) to begin a new life in the Pacific Northwest. When their car breaks down in Venus, Oregon, they’re forced to spend the night in a secluded Airbnb, where they are terrorized from dusk till dawn by three masked strangers.
Ema Horvath (“The Rings of Power”) and Gabe Basso (Hillbilly Elegy) will also star.
Renny Harlin (Cliffhanger, Deep Blue Sea, Die Hard 2) is directing from a script by Alan R. Cohen and Alan Freedland (The Freak Brothers, Due Date). Lionsgate will distribute worldwide.
The Strangers began in 2008 with Bryan Bertino’s original home invasion horror movie, a terrifying film that introduced three masked killers who returned 10 years later with The Strangers: Prey at Night in 2018. The first film took place in a remote house in the woods while the sequel brought the murderous Man in the Mask, Dollface and Pinup Girl into a trailer park.
