Further casting news have emerged regarding Justin Lee’s (The Protector) remake of the 1932 classic horror-thriller The Most Dangerous Game, which originally starred Joel McCrea, Fay Wray and Leslie Banks.

The seminal feature, which inspired such greats as Predator and Zodiac, has assembled quite the cast. It’s now been revealed that two-time Oscar nominee Bruce Dern (who previously worked with Lee on Badland), Judd Nelson (The Breakfast Club), and Caspar Van Dien (Starship Troopers, Alita: Battle Angel) have joined the production, which already counts Tom Berenger (Platoon) Chris ‘C.T.’ Tamburello (MTV’s The Challenge), Elissa Dowling, Kevin Porter, Eddie Finlay and Randy Charach amongst its cast.

The original film, based on the influential 1924 short story of the same name by Richard Connell, concerned a big game hunter who deliberately stranded a group of luxury yacht passengers on a remote island, so that he could hunt them for sport. The classic gets a father-son remix with this latest production, as the two are washed ashore a mysterious island after their steamership explodes. Their host, Baron Von Wolf, reveals that the island is his gaming preserve. Berenger plays a man who has managed to survive on the island but whose mind is all but gone.

The Most Dangerous Game is currently in production with eyes on a summer 2022 release – probably VOD, right? Deadline also revealed some first look images for the film.
