We’ve known for a while now that a new installment in the long-running Wrong Turn franchise is headed our way from director Mike P. Nelson (The Domestics), with filming wrapping up last year. Last we heard, the movie’s title was set to be Wrong Turn: The Foundation, but it’s interesting to note that the official MPA classification lists it simply as Wrong Turn.
As we fully expected, the MPA has slapped the film with an “R” rating.
Wrong Turn is rated “R” for “Strong bloody violence, grisly images and pervasive language.”
Saban Films is listed as the distributor, and we expect to hear more from them soon.
The new take on the long-running franchise will bring a group of unlucky friends to Harpers Ferry, West Virginia to spend a couple days hiking the Appalachian Trail. In this one, they are confronted by “The Foundation”, a community of people who have lived in the mountains since before the Civil War – oh, and they don’t take well to strangers.
We’ve been able to confirm the full cast that’s now listed on IMDb, which includes Matthew Modine (“Stranger Things”, 47 Meters Down), Damian Maffei (The Strangers: Prey at Night, Haunt), Bill Sage (“Hap and Leonard”), Emma Dumont (“The Gifted”), Valerie Jane Parker (“Greenleaf”), Chaney Morrow (Haunt) and David Hutchinson (“American Horror Story”).
Dylan McTee, Adrian Favela, Adain Bradley, Jeremy Ambler, Cory Scott Allen, Gary Ray Stearns, Rhyan Elizabeth Hanavan, Vardaan Arora, Mark Mench, Joshua Stephen Campbell, Jennie Malone, Brian James Fitzpatrick and Mark Angel also star.
Alan B. McElroy, the writer of the original film, wrote the new movie’s script.
