When you hear the name Oren Peli, you may immediately think of the Paranormal Activity series, but he's also keeping busy producing horror films, including Insidious and the currently filming Rob Zombie movie The Lords of Salem. His latest project is an untitled post-apocalyptic ghost town movie, and the official cast list has just been released.
According to Deadline, FilmNation has fully financed the film which just started shooting this week. The cast includes Jonathan Sadowski, Devin Kelley, Jesse McCartney, Olivia Taylor Dudley, Nathan Phillips, Ingrid Bolso Berdal and Dimitry Diatchenko.
Brad Parker (Let Me In - Second Unit Director) is directing and the movie is based on an original story from Oren Peli: “A group of friends become stranded in an eerie and desolate city. Years before in the aftermath of a nuclear disaster, nature has begun to reclaim everything. As the sun sets on this radioactive ghost town, inhuman cries cut through the night air. It seems they are not alone."
