Jeremy Saulnier (Green Room, Rebel Ridge) is back in the A24 business with the upcoming October, and Deadline reports that “The Last of Us” and Opus actor Young Mazino and “Barry” actor Stephen Root have joined in supporting roles.
Mazino and Root join previously announced cast members Chase Sui Wonders (I Know What You Did Last Summer), Sophie Wilde (Talk to Me), and Cory Michael Smith (Saturday Night).
Plot and character details for October remain tightly guarded, but the project has been described as a “fugitive thriller set during Halloween.” Saulnier will direct from his own script, with A24 producing and financing.
Producers for the film include Rich Peete, Eli Bush, and Jeremy Saulnier & Skei Saulnier, with Ronald Bronstein and Josh Safdie, Traci Carlson and Elliott Coley and Macon Blair.
Macon Blair, who previously starred in Saulnier’s films Murder Party, Blue Ruin and Green Room, directed reboot The Toxic Avenger.
