'Jumper' Star Leaps into Wes Craven's '25/8!
Oh Wes Craven, such a noble soul?always giving back to the acting community by hiring unknown (and sometimes terribly awful) actors to give your films some authenticity. This time, Craven had originally cast an entire ensemble of unknowns for his newest horror thriller from Rogue Pictures, 25/8; originally to star Henry Lee Hopper, known only for being the son of one of the coolest mf-ers alive, Dennis Hopper. But according to HollywoodReporter.com, Henry Lee Hopper has dropped out, and Craven?s replacing him with Jumper star Max Thierot. Thierot will star as one of seven teens haunted by a killer assumed to have died when they were born. Craven also gets major points for denying teeny-bopping-annoyance Jesse McCartney a role in the film, and enlisting the help of some newcomers like Nick Lashaway, John Magaro, Paulina Olsynski and Raul Esparza as the film?s serial killer.
