Following Dad's Lead....

Casting for Wes Craven's upcomming thriller, 25/8, is well on its way, according to The Hollywood Reporter.



Henry Lee Hopper (son of actor Dennis Hopper), Denzel Whitaker (named after actor Denzel Washington), Shareeka Epps and Emily Meade have all signed on to do the flick.

Hopper Jr (pictured at right) will play the lead role of Bug, one of seven teens haunted by a serial killer who supposedly died when they were born 15 years earlier.

The film takes place over the course of 24 hours as the mystery of who (or what) is stalking the small-town as the mystery plays out. The initially naive, innocent Bug is changed by these strange events.

You may have noticed that Craven is casting relative unknowns in the film...this is to avoid tipping off the audience as to who will live and will die as the film unfolds.
