Published Thursday, Jun 1 2006, 10:24 BST | By Daniel Saney
Sean Bean has been picked to play the hitchhiker from hell in Dave Meyers' remake of The Hitcher.
One Tree Hill's Sophia Bush is also joining the cast, according to The Hollywood Reporter.
The 1986 original stars Rutger Hauer as a psychotic hitchhiker who, after being kindly picked up by a young driver (C. Thomas Howell), ungratefully sets him up for a string of murders.
Eric Bernt wrote the current draft of the script, with production expected to begin later this month.
