Bad Influence adds John Cho and more actors to Xochitl Gomez movie
John Cho is part of a newly expanded cast for Bad Influence, a horror film starring Xochitl Gomez.
The project has brought in several additional actors as it moves toward its next stage following the completion of filming. According to Deadline, the most recently announced group of cast members includes Cho, Ethan Suplee, Danny Jolles, Arnas Fedaravičius, Ana Ortiz, Jacob Vargas, and Michelle Macedo. The new additions will appear alongside Gomez, Madeleine McGraw, and Jack Champion, who were announced earlier.
The film follows Isabelle and Kira, whose plans for a spring break trip take a troubling turn when they encounter a hitchhiker named Liam. The decision to let him join their journey brings an unexpected threat into their lives, as the stranger turns out to be far more dangerous than they initially realize. Brandon Cohen wrote the film’s screenplay, which has been described as a young adult horror story drawing on the themes of Thelma & Louise.
Jason Perlman directs the feature, with Debbie Liebling, Joel David Moore, and Zachary Burgess producing. Executive producer credits include Steven Silverstein, Cathy Raduns, Raymond Merrill, Carmelo Chimera, Syed Ali Saeed, Denis Schoenhofer, Natalie Kline, Jarod Einsohn, and Michelle and Melissa Macedo. The project has also enlisted Toby Marlow and Lucy Moss to create original songs.
With principal photography now finished, Bad Influence is moving ahead without a confirmed release date. Further details about its distribution and premiere are yet to be announced.
