Recently announced, Lionsgate is currently producing a remake of the hit 2008 psychological horror ‘The Strangers’. It’s set to star Madeline Petsch, Froy Gutierrez, and Gabriel Basso. The movie has started production in Slovakia.
The story revolves around the three unnamed characters, who will go on a road trip to begin a new life in the Pacific Northwest. The synopsis reads; “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,”.
This feature will be directed by Renny Harlin, who’s also set to direct two more planned sequels. It is co-written by Alan R. Cohen and Alan Freedland. Deadline spoke to Harlin who spoke about the project;
“My mother instilled the love of movies in me through the world of Hitchcock and other masters of suspense and horror,” Harlin said in a statement. “My breakthrough to Hollywood happened with the success of A Nightmare on Elm Street 4. It is only fitting that I get to return to my favorite genre with the incredibly well-written trilogy of The Strangers. The characters and the storyline are all grounded in reality and offer me an endless tapestry of haunting visuals in bringing these movies alive.”
