Stranger Things Star Jamie Campbell Bower Joins the Cast of 'WITCHBOARD' Remake

That’s right, VECNA from Stranger Things aka actor Jamie Campbell Bower is set to star in a remake of ‘WITCHBOARD’ by coming from director Chuck Russell and we have some new updates about the film below.

“There is a tradition in cinema of great English actors that have the charisma we associate with stardom as well as the acting chops to truly be a chameleon, playing a variety of character types,” Russell said. “Jamie Campbell Bower is that kind of actor and his time is now.”

“The film shoots in May in Montreal and New Orleans.”

Russell will direct, and he also co-wrote the script with Greg McKay.

In writer/director Kevin S. Tenney’s original movie, “Friends playing with an Ouija board at a late-night party unleash a demonic spirit who begins hunting them.”

Here’s the plot synopsis for the remake: “Emily, her fiancé Christian and a group of their friends open an organic café, refurbishing an old carriage house in New Orleans’ French Quarter. But a darkness descends over Emily when she discovers an ancient pendulum board, once used to summon spirits.

“Christian seeks help for Emily from occult expert Alexander Babtiste, but Babtiste has secrets of his own, knowing the fateful bloodlines that binds them all to the Witchboard. A modern coven of White Witches, a masked ball at Babtiste’s mansion, and the legacy of Naga Soth, the Queen of Witches, are all part of a dangerous game that puts Emily’s very soul at risk.”

Let’s take a look at the original 1986 films trailer below.
