Deadline is exclusively reporting that Jermaine Fowler is the latest name to join the cast of Legendary’s horror remake Faces Of Death.

.

The 1978 original focused on a pathologist who explored the gruesome ways that humans die in order to better understand the many ‘faces of death’, cultivating footage from around the world. Whilst in reality most of the death scenes were staged, there were some real deaths shown in the film, leading to the film being banned in multiple countries, particularly being added to the ‘Video Nasty’ list in the UK. Due to this and curious minds, the film received a cult following when it received home video releases.

.

The report doesn’t state what role Jermaine Fowler will be playing in the film. His credits include Sorry To Bother You and Coming 2 America.

.

The film is currently in production in New Orleans, with Isa Mazzei and Daniel Goldhaber writing and directing the film. Don Murphy and Susan Montford serve as producers on the project alongside Divide/Conquer’s Adam Hendricks and Greg Gilreath, with Rick Benattar serving as executive producer and Cory Kaplan as co-producer.

Jermaine Fowler will join a cast that includes Barbie Ferreira, Dacre Montgomery, Josie Totah, Aaron Holliday and Charli XCX.
