Halloween Horror Action Thriller ‘October’ Coming from A24

A24 is in production on the new Halloween movie October, described as horror action thriller, to be directed by Jeremy Saulnier (Green Room, Rebel Ridge).

Cory Michael Smith, who previously played The Riddler in Gotham (above) and more recently earned critical acclaim as Chevy Chase in Saturday Night, has been cast in a leading role in A24’s “genre thriller” October, as first reported today by Deadline.

Plot details and any information on Smith’s character are being kept under wraps at this time, but sources tell Deadline the film is “a fugitive thriller set during Halloween.”

Jeremy Saulnier (Green Room, Rebel Ridge) will direct from his own script, with A24 producing and financing the project.

Rich Peete (Neighborhood Watch), Eli Bush (Central) and Jeremy Saulnier and Skei Saulnier (Niteowl Films) will produce, with Ronald Bronstein and Josh Safdie (Central), Traci Carlson and Elliott Coley (Neighborhood Watch), and Macon Blair (Bonneville Pictures) executive producing.

Casting for additional roles is currently underway.

Stay tuned for much more on October coming soon.
