EXCLUSIVE: James Badge Dale (The Pacific), Matty Matheson (The Bear), and Imogen Poots (All of You) are new additions to October, writer-director Jeremy Saulnier’s Halloween fugitive thriller for A24, which is producing and financing, with production now underway.

Plot and character details for the film remain under lock and key. As previously announced, Cory Michael Smith leads the cast, which also features Chase Sui Wonders, Sophie Wilde, Stanley Simons, Young Mazino and Stephen Root.

Rich Peete is producing for Neighborhood Watch, alongside Eli Bush for Central, as well as Jeremy Saulnier and Skei Saulnier for Niteowl Films.

Previously working with Saulnier on 2015’s Green Room, Poots will next be seen in Nia DaCosta’s Hedda, which will soon hit select theaters and debut on Prime Video after premiering at TIFF.
