Henry Lee Hopper, Denzel Whitaker, Shareeka Epps and Emily Meade have been cast in Wes Craven's 25/8, The Hollywood Reporter claims.

The movie centres around seven teens who are haunted by a serial killer who supposedly died 15 years earlier. The horror film takes place over the course of a day as the mystery of who is stalking the teens unravels.

Henry Lee Hopper, who plays the lead role Bug, is the son of Hollywood actor Dennis. 25/8 marks his big screen debut. Hopper won the role after making an impression on Craven when they both attended a party for filmmaker Julian Schnabel.

Hopper, 17, was recently angered by comments made by Oscars host John Stewart that made fun of his father.

Shooting begins on 25/8 in Connecticut next month.
