Aaron Stanford, Kathleen Quinlan, Ted Levine and Vinessa Shaw will star in Fox Searchlight's The Hills Have Eyes for writer/director Alexandre Aja. Shooting will start in Morocco this month.
The project is a remake of the 1977 film written and directed by Wes Craven, who will produce the new version with his production partner Marianne Maddalena and Peter Locke.
The story follows a vacationing family that makes a wrong turn in the desert and is terrorized by the inhabitants they encounter.
Stanford will play Doug Wood; Shaw plays his wife, Lynne Wood; Levine plays Big Bob Carter; and Quinlan will play Ethel Carter. Also starring are Emilie de Ravin as Brenda Carter, Dan Byrd as Bobby Carter and Robert Joy as Lizard. Billy Drago and Tom Bower also have been cast.
After The Hills Have Eyes, Stanford immediately will segue into 20th Century Fox's X-Men 3, in which he will reprise his role as Pyro in the franchise. |
