Former Guardians of the Galaxy and The Walking Dead star Michael Rooker has boarded Sony Pictures and Blumhouse?s Fantasy Island, Deadline reports.
A big screen adaptation of the ABC series that starred Ricardo Montalbán and ran from 1977 to 1984 on ABC, Fantasy Island will also star Michael Peña as Mr. Roarke, leading a cast now consisting of Charlotte McKinney (Baywatch), Parisa Fitz-Henley (Luke Cage) and Austin Stowell (12 Strong).
eff Wadlow, who directed and co-wrote Truth or Dare for Jason Blum?s typically horror-centric production arm, directs from a script he penned with Truth or Dare co-writers Jillian Jacobs and Chris Roach. Blumhouse co-finances with Sony, who have set a course for a February 28, 2020 release date.
Plot details are being kept under wraps.
Rooker, whose tenure as one-armed hillbilly Merle Dixon on The Walking Dead ended in 2013, most recently starred as Bud Melks in the James Gunn-scripted and produced horror-thriller The Belko Experiment before reprising his role as blue-skinned space pirate Yondu in Marvel Studios? Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2, again reuniting him with writer-director and close friend Gunn.
?Before The Walking Dead, a few of the jobs before that were just like, ?Ugh.? I try and make everything as creative as possible, even when I get the script and can?t imagine what I?m going to do with it. I was ecstatic when The Walking Dead came along. Merle Dixon was so perfectly adapted for me,? Rooker told Paste Magazine in 2017.
