Proving that ’90s nostalgia is a very real thing we’re in the midst of, the 1990 thriller Flatliners is next up on the remake chopping block, and with production getting ready to begin, we’ve got the latest casting news for you today. Beau Mirchoff, the star of “Awkward,” has come aboard the team.
Per THR, the actor will play a medical student named Brad.
Flatliners is being directed by Niels Arden Oplev (Sweden’s The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo, TV’s “Mr. Robot”) from a script by Ben Ripley (Source Code). It has a release date of August 18, 2017.
The movie is being produced by Laurence Mark and Michael Douglas (who also produced the original movie). Kiefer Sutherland, who starred in the original, has committed to portraying a “seasoned doctor” in the new version, which stars Ellen Page, Diego Luna, Nina Dobrev, James Norton, and Kiersey Clemens.
The original thriller, which co-starred Julia Roberts, Kevin Bacon, Billy Baldwin, and Oliver Platt, followed five medical students who decide to trigger near-death experiences by purposely stopping their hearts. However, as they delve into their work, the experiments become more and more dangerous and scary as they are forced to confront the sins of their pasts as well as contend with the paranormal consequences of crossing a line to the other side.
