Sophia Bush Encounters The Hitcher
Sophia Bush (One Tree Hill, Stay Alive) will play the female lead in Platinum Dunes and Rogue Pictures' horror remake The Hitcher, based on the 1986 classic.
Director Dave Meyers' new version will follow two young travelers who are tormented by a mysterious hitchhiker. Jake Wade Wall and Eric Brent wrote the script. Production is scheduled to start this June in Austin, Texas.
Directed by Robert Harmon, the original starred C. Thomas Howell as a teen who picks up the hitchhiker from hell (Rutger Hauer), a serial killer who torments the youth by implicating him in each of his crimes.
Michael Bay, Brad Fuller and Andrew Form are producing for Dunes, along with Charles Meeker and Alfred Haber. The company previously remade The Texas Chainsaw Massacre and The Amityville Horror |
