It was only earlier this week that we learned THE NUN star Demian Bichir had joined the cast of the upcoming reboot of THE GRUDGE from director Nicolas Pesce (THE EYES OF MY MOTHER). And today we have news that THE EXORCIST season 2 star John Cho will be joining in on the kids and curses this go-around as well.
Cho is an interesting choice and I dug his work on the second season of FOX's THE EXORCIST so I'm all for him being added to the fun. What do you think of this casting? Make sure to hit us up and let us know how excited you are about this reboot of THE GRUDGE in the comments below or on social media!
