As reported by various litigious outlets, the stars have signed in to play the leading casts of the cult classic, Faces of Death‘s reimagining. Sitting at the director’s chair are Isa Mazzei and Daniel Goldhaber. The duo will also be managing the writing of the screenplay front while penning the story of a blood-curdling horror mystery revolving around dead animals and their studies. 

How well are Dacre Montgomery and Barbie Ferreira suited for the roles? 

Ferreira and camgirl? Rings a bell or two? Yes, the star has a potential connection with her hut HBO show’s character, Kat. Just like in her forthcoming movie, Kat also found herself at the center of online attention while anonymously getting streamed as a camgirl of East Highland Highschool. However, the difference in the character arc of both her roles would surely be a delight to watch.

Speaking of Montgomery, everyone knows his knack for playing the blood-curdling characters. Ever since he completely slays his Stanger Things role as a brooding teenager with sudden outbursts of anger, his career has just gone uphill. His exorbitant portrayal of being one of his comrades of Vecna unlocked new levels of the potential of the actor. 

What was the original Faces of Death all about? 

The movie narrates a story of a pathologist and his weird obsession with the transitional moment between life and death. In the process of elaborating the same, the doctor researches some gruesome corpses of animals and puts forward his theory for the audience to think about.
