Lance Reddick and Brendan Meyer Join The Guest

One of the stars of HBO’s “The Wire,” Lance Reddick, and Canadian teen star Brendan Meyer have joined the cast of the new flick from Adam Wingard and Simon Barrett (V/H/S, V/H/S/2, You’re Next, A Horrible Way to Die), entitled The Guest. Read on for details.

They join the previously announced Dan Stevens and Maika Monroe in the film. According to The Wrap, Stevens (“Downton Abbey”) stars as David, an ex-Marine who returns from a tour of duty and is taken in by a fallen comrade’s family, whom he proceeds to terrorize. As the female lead, Monroe will seek to protect her family from David’s cold-blooded wrath. Meyer will play Monroe’s younger brother, while Reddick (pictured above) will play a government agent aware of David’s medical history who sets out to stop his violent rampage.

Adam Wingard will direct from a script by Simon Barrett, while Keith Calder and Jessica Wu will produce via Snoot Entertainment. Production starts this summer.

Look for more on this one soon.
