Recently, Paramount Pictures has shared the information that Henry Thomas and Samantha Mathis have joined the cast of a new horror film based on the works of Stephen King. Fans of horror movies will surely know the new members of the crew, as they previously appeared in other horror productions.
Henry Thomas is best known for his role as Elliot in Steven Spielberg’s ET movie. Recently, he also plays in Netflix productions, for example in The Haunting of Hill House or The Haunting of Bly Manor. The actor also has experience in films based on the work of King. His performance can be seen, for example, in the films Doctor Sleep and Gerald’s Game.
Samantha Mathis also took part in projects based on the work of the master of horror. In 2004, she played in the Little Town of Salem . The actress also has roles in horror films, for example, she appeared in the series Into the Dark , which can be seen on the Hulu platform.
Still, not much is known about the film itself. It will definitely be a prequel to the 2019 production, and the script itself (written by Jeff Buhler, also responsible for the script of the previous Sematary) is to be based on the book by Stephen King. We do not have any information about the plot of the new production yet, so we need to wait for more announcements from Paramount studios.
