Cary Elwes joins Black Christmas remake

Blumhouse Production’s remake of the 1974 slasher cult hit “Black Christmas” has nabbed Cary Elwes to star. Within the horror genre, you’ll know Elwes as the guy who cut off his foot in the very first “Saw” film.

Elwesjoins Imogen Poots, Aleyse Shannon, Brittany O’Grady, Lily Donoghue, and Caleb Eberhardt, and is said to star in a key role – though those details aren’t known as yet. Sophia Takal is directing, with filming to begin soon in New Zealand.

The synopsis for the film reads: Hawthorne College is quieting down for the holidays. One by one, sorority girls on campus are being killed by an unknown stalker. But the killer is about to discover that this generation’s young women aren’t willing to become hapless victims as they mount a fight to the finish.

“Black Christmas” is set for release December 13.
