Ahead of its release in 2024 and the upcoming panel at New York Comic Con, we have the first images from the upcoming Strangers franchise reboot that will span a trilogy, with the first film being The Strangers: Chapter 1, directed by Renny Harlin (Cliffhanger, Die Hard 2, The Exorcist: The Beginning).
In Chapter I, Madelaine Petsch (TV’s “Riverdale”) stars as a young woman starting a new life with her fiancé (Foy Gutierrez). Suddenly, during a road trip stop in a remote vacation rental in the woods, they become the prey of a mysterious gang of masked strangers who attack without warning or reason. What begins as a fight to stay alive becomes one woman’s journey of courage and cunning in this horror series bridging three compelling films written by Alan R. Cohen & Alan Freedland.
It appears from the images, that the reboot will feature the same villains from the original, including the man in the mask, Pinup Girl, and Dollface, and will have them looking nearly identical to the originals. We couldn’t be happier about that.
The first footage from the film will be revealed during a panel at the New York Comic-Con on Thursday, October 12th at 3-4 pm EST in room 405. Director Renny Harlin and producer Courtney Solomon (Cake, After franchise) will be present to discuss The Strangers and will provide an exclusive first-look from their new horror trilogy, releasing from Lionsgate in 2024. Renny and Courtney will also discuss the making of all three films during a Q&A with moderator Josh Horowitz, and who knows, maybe some Strangers will stop by…
