‘Black Friday’ Casts Bruce Campbell, Devon Sawa, Michael Jai White

Ash vs Evil Dead | Starz

Bruce Campbell (Ash vs. Evil Dead), Devon Sawa (Final Destination), and Michael Jai White (Spawn) will star in Black Friday, a holiday horror film set on the notorious shopping day. Deadline reports that the trio has joined the cast of the new film with production reportedly beginning in Boston on Nov. 16. Ivana Baqureo, Ryan Lee, and Stephen Peck also star. Casey Tebo directs with Warner Davis producing alongside MFW Productions.

Written by Andy Greskoviak, the story follows “a group of disgruntled toy store employees who have to defend themselves from legions of holiday shoppers when a mysterious alien parasite sends them on a murderous rampage.”

The movie seems tailor-made for someone like Bruce Campbell, who has plenty of experience as a retail worker fighting the undead in the Evil Dead franchise. No horror fan can ever forget the way he encourages people to shop smart by shopping S-Mart. Since retiring from his role as Ash, Campbell has since gone on to star in the AMC series Lodge 49, provide voice work for animated shows, and host the Travel Channel reboot of Ripley’s Believe It or Not!. He is also set to play Richard Nixon in the upcoming film 18 1/2.

After starring in the popular horror films Final Destination and Idle Hands, Sawa recently returned to the genre by starring in Fred Durst’s thriller The Fanatic. Released in 2019, the film stars Sawa as an actor targeted by an obsessed fan played by John Travolta. Sawa is also set to appear in the upcoming eco-horror film Hunter Hunter along with the horror western Death Rider in the House of Vampires and the thriller Hunt for Me about a group of people abducted and hunted on an island.

White is very well appreciated for starring in the 1997 superhero movie Spawn. He is also known for roles in The Dark Knight, Black Dynamite, and Mortal Kombat: Legacy. White also had a recurring role on The CW’s Arrow and has a variety of upcoming projects in the works in addition to Black Friday.

No word yet on when Black Friday will be released.
