EXCLUSIVE: Ahead of this weekend’s release of his debut feature, the Neon horror thriller It Ends, Alex Ullom has set the lead cast for 4 X 4: The Event, his second feature for the studio.
The group of eight includes Sophia Lillis (It), Dylan Minnette (13 Reasons Why), Marcel Ruiz (One Day at a Time), Quintessa Swindell (Teenage Sex and Death at Camp Miasma), Maddie Phillips (Gen V), Mitchell Cole (It Ends), Jaden Smith and Jacob Tremblay (Room).
Character details are being kept under wraps. The film, which recently wrapped principal photography, follows eight contestants as they enter an illegal sensory-assault livestream where they must kill or be killed using only what they can order online.
Spooky Pictures and Image Nation Studios produced under their multi-title partnership, alongside Divide/Conquer & Phobos, with Neon taking worldwide rights to the horror flick earlier this year.
