Last week we learned THE NUN star Demian Bichir and THE EXORCIST season 2 star John Cho 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 yet another familiar face of horror will be joining in on the kids and curses this go-around as well.
Variety reports that none other than Lin Shaye (INSIDIOUS) has joined the cast of the new film. This bodes well for me as if nothing else it seems like the powers that be behind the new version of THE GRUDGE seem to know talent behind and in front of the camera. So that’s good.
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!
