It’s a fresh take on both the board and its story.
Atlas Distribution Company and The Avenue will bring WITCHBOARD, a loose remake of Kevin S. Tenney’s ’80s cult favorite, to theaters nationwide August 15. Directed by Chuck Russell, who previously remade THE BLOB, from a script he wrote with Greg McKay, it stars Madison Iseman (ANNABELLE COMES HOME), Aaron Dominguez, Mel Jarnson, Charlie Tahan, Antonia Desplat and Jamie Campbell Bower. The synopsis: “In present-day New Orleans, a cursed artifact unleashes a vengeful witch, drawing a young couple into a deadly spiral of possession, temptation, and occult terror.”
