Stephen King's THE BOOGEYMAN Starts Production and The Full Cast is Revealed
Director Rob Savage (Host) has started production on the feature film adaptation of Stephen King’s The Boogeyman. The project is shooting in New Orleans, and the full cast for the film has been announced. Before we get to the cast, I’ll tell you what the film is about.
The story follows “a 16-year old and her younger sister, still reeling from the death of their mother, who are targeted by a supernatural boogeyman after their father, a psychologist, has an encounter with a desperate patient in their house.”
The horror-thriller stars Chris Messina (Sharp Objects), Sophie Thatcher (Yellowjackets), Vivien Lyra Blair (Bird Box), David Dastmalchian (The Suicide Squad), Marin Ireland (The Last Man) and Madison Hu (Voyagers).
The project is set up at 20th Century Studios and it’s being produced by Shawn Levy (Stranger Things), Dan Levine and Dan Cohen, with Scott Beck and Bryan Woods (A Quiet Place) and Emily Morris serving as executive producers.
The Boogeyman will be released in 2023 exclusively as an original film on Disney’s direct-to-consumer platforms such as Hulu in the U.S., Star+ in Latin America and Disney+ under the Star banner in all other territories.
