François Simard, Anouk Whissell and Yoann-Karl Whissell, the team behind 2015’s Turbo Kid, are gearing up to begin production on Summer of ’84, a new horror film shooting in Vancouver. We first told you about the project back in May, and now we’ve got casting news.

Variety reports that “Mad Men” star Rich Sommer (above) and “Riverdale” star Tiera Skovbye will star in the film, alongside Graham Verchere, Judah Lewis, Caleb Emery, and Cory Gruter-Andrew. [...] Matt Leslie co-produced and wrote alongside writing partner Stephen J. Smith. Their screenplay was featured on the 2016 ‘Blood List’ selection of the best dark genre screenplays voted on by industry professionals.

I'm in! Love Turbo Kid.

This sounds brilliant and right up my street.

jacobsever · 08-25-2017, 03:55 PM

Yup. Count me in.

UltraMario9 · 08-25-2017, 04:14 PM

Yes please.

jacobsever · 08-25-2017, 04:15 PM

I really love Rich Sommer. I'll always recognize him as Harry Cane from Mad Men, but it's been awesome to see him in so many other things.

Wet Hot American Summer: 10 Years Later, GLOW, Love. He's a likable guy for some reason.

It's also funny to me that they are calling Tiera a "Riverdale Star", when her character was mentioned more than actually shown on screen. I'd definitely say she was a secondary character. Not one of the main cast.

Cool like these new films set in the 80s

esteban² · 08-25-2017, 06:00 PM

And yet another 80s movie ... I like this trend, as long as it's working.

It one thing to have these movies set in the 80s, but if it doesn't look like the 80s (the clothes, hair, cars etc), I can't buy in.
The Final Girls was supposed to be this old 80s slasher flick but it looked way too modern on all levels.

SororityRow · 08-26-2017, 09:40 AM

Fright Night as a slasher movie, i'm so here for it.

Zillamon51 · 08-26-2017, 02:09 PM

Color me interested.

I'll have to check out Turbo Kid on Netflix.
