New Details Revealed for FEAR STREET Trilogy Including 4 More Cast Members
R.L. Stine’s Fear Street is getting a movie trilogy and we learned a number of details. Now, we have even more. First, it turns out that Leigh Janiak (Honeymoon) will actually direct all three films in the trilogy instead of three different directors handling them.
Also, Kiana Madeira and Olivia Welch will be joined by Jeremy Ford, Fred Hechinger, Julia Rehwald, and Ashley Zukerman.
The stories for the book series were set in the fictional town of Shadyside, Ohio, and they spanned different times periods in the 1980s and 1990s. Each one centered around a new set of characters. But some of those characters occasionally made appearances in other stories since they are all set in the same universe.
It was previously revealed that “Madeira and Welch will each be playing gay teenagers trying to navigate their rocky relationship when they’re targeted by the crazy horrors of their small town, Shadyside. Each actress will be playing two different characters — one in the mid-’90s, and one in the 1600s, when gay women faced even greater adversity and repercussions — and they’re both slated to appear in all three films.”
The three separate films will each get a theatrical release a month apart from each other. It will give audience the opportunity to binge watch these films in theaters.
What do you think of the change in directors for the second film? I like the move as it will strengthen Janiak’s control over the storytelling and hopefully lead to a very cohesive trilogy.
