STRANGER THINGS Star Sadie Sink Joins R.L. Stine's FEAR STREET Trilogy
One of the young stars from Stranger Things, Sadie Sink, is set to star in the second installment of 20th Century Fox’s Fear Street trilogy, which is based on the YA novels by R.L. Stine.
Sink will join the previously cast Kiana Madeira, Olivia Welch, Benjamin Flores Jr., Ashley Zukerman, Fred Hechinger, Julia Rehwald, and Jeremy Ford. The film trilogy will be directed by Leigh Janiak and I’m looking forward to seeing what comes of it.
The stories for the book series were set in the fictional town of Shadyside, Ohio, and they spanned different time 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 audiences the opportunity to binge watch these films in theaters.
