Tyler Posey Leading Cast of Simon & Schuster’s Original Audiobook “Know Your Newlywed”

Posted on July 8, 2024 by Tom Castaneda

Tyler Posey is officially in the know…

The 32-year-old half-Mexican American actor and Teen Wolf star and Mary Mouser will lead the cast of the Simon & Schuster Original Audiobook Know Your Newlywed.

The rom-com is written by Heather Taylor and Hillary Nussbaum with Elena Armas serving as executive producer.

The audiobook will be available to purchase on December 10.

In Know Your Newlywed, Cleo (Mouser) is a researcher with big dreams of a PhD in anthrozoology and a guilty pleasure obsession with Know Your Newlywed. In this decades-old game show, married couples compete by answering obscure questions about each other. She’s more invested in her career than in finding a relationship of her own, though—that is, until she comes across Javi’s (Posey) dating app profile, which says he’s “looking for someone to win Know Your Newlywed with.”

Sparks fly, and when Cleo and Javi catch wind of a reboot of their beloved show, they apply on a whim, pretending to be newlyweds themselves. Before they know it, they’re cast as contestants, playing the part of a smitten married couple better than they could’ve imagined. Their genuine chemistry is impossible to ignore, and as the competition heats up, they quickly become America’s sweethearts. But how far can Cleo and Javi take their secret? And as they inch closer and closer to a life-changing cash prize, will the mounting pressure and their ambitions get in the way of their blossoming romance? Or is their connection strong enough to last once the cameras stop rolling?

Posey is best known for his portrayal of Scott McCall in MTV’s Teen Wolf, a re-imagination of the Michael J. Fox film of the same name released in 1985. He played the young werewolf across the show’s six seasons and also directed. He reprised the role in the Paramount+ follow-up film Teen Wolf: The Movie released last year.

His additional credits include The Real Bros of Simi Valley: The Movie, Fast & Furious Spy Racers and Jane the Virgin to name a few.

Up next, Posey will be seen in the biopic Queen of the Ring.

Posted on October 8, 2022 by Tom Castaneda

Tyler Posey will be returning to the world of werewolves in January…

Premiere dates for other Paramount+ international markets will be announced at a later date.

The streamer also released a first-look clip during its panel Friday at New York Comic Con.

In Teen Wolf: The Movie, produced by MTV Entertainment Studios and MGM, a full moon rises in Beacon Hills and with it a terrifying evil has emerged. The wolves are howling once again, calling for the return of banshees, were coyotes, hellhounds, kitsunes and every other shapeshifter in the night. But only a werewolf like Scott McCall (Posey), no longer a teenager yet still an alpha, can both gather new allies and reunite trusted friends to fight back against what could be the most powerful and deadliest enemy they’ve ever faced.

Froy Gutierrez to Star in Renny Harlin’s Lionsgate “The Strangers” Remake

Posted on September 18, 2022 by Tom Castaneda

It’s a strange(r) time Froy Gutierrez…

The 24-year-old Mexican American actor will star opposite Madelaine Petsch and Gabriel Basso in a Lionsgate remake of the 2008 horror film The Strangers, which has entered production in Slovakia.

Renny Harlin is directing the film, which will be the first in a trilogy, having locked in a deal to helm the subsequent pair.

The original film The Strangers was a home invasion film that Bryan Bertino wrote and directed in his feature debut, with Liv Tyler and Scott Speedman starring.

It registered as a sleeper hit upon its May 2008 release via Universal Pictures and came to be appreciated in the years following as a cult classic, with the sequel The Strangers: Prey at Night being released in March 2018.

The new Strangers film will follow Petsch’s character as she drives cross-country with her longtime boyfriend (Gutierrez) to begin a new life in the Pacific Northwest. When their car breaks down in Venus, Oregon, they’re forced to spend the night in a secluded Airbnb, where they are terrorized from dusk till dawn by three masked strangers.

Lionsgate plans from there to expand the story in new and unexpected ways with its sequels.

Alan R. Cohen and Alan Freedland wrote the franchise launcher, to be distributed worldwide by Lionsgate.

“My mother instilled the love of movies in me through the world of Hitchcock and other masters of suspense and horror. My breakthrough to Hollywood happened with the success of A Nightmare on Elm Street 4,” noted Harlin. “It is only fitting that I get to return to my favorite genre with the incredibly well written trilogy of The Strangers. The characters and the storyline are all grounded in reality and offer me an endless tapestry of haunting visuals in bringing these movies alive.”

“When setting out to remake The Strangers, we felt there was a bigger story to be told, which could be as powerful, chilling, and terrifying as the original and could really expand that world,” said Solomon. “Shooting this story as a trilogy allows us to create a hyperreal and terrifying character study. We’re fortunate to be joining forces with Madelaine Petsch, an amazing talent whose character is the driving force of this story.”

“When you’ve got two horror aficionados like Courtney Solomon and Renny Harlin coming together, you’ve got all you need to create some incredibly smart, lean-forward-in-your-seat, addictively thrilling entertainment,” said Mark Canton. “Fans of the original film will be blown away; new audiences will discover the intensely unnerving world of The Strangers.”

“The Strangers taps into such primal fears that it will always be relevant,” added Eda Kowan, Lionsgate’s EVP of Acquisitions & Co-Productions. “But what truly sets this project apart is the way the filmmakers have expanded the story and given these characters a new life.”

Gutierrez plays Jamie Henson on the Freeform series Cruel Summer, which has been renewed for a second season, and has also been seen on shows like Light as a Feather, Teen Wolf and One Day at a Time. Also coming up for the actor is the long anticipated Hocus Pocus 2, which is slated for release on Disney+ on September 30th.
