Chris Hemsworth, Jeff Bridges To Star In Drew Goddard's 'Bad Times At The El Royale', Beyonce Sought For Role
How's this for an awesome trio? Oscar winner Jeff Bridges and the mighty Thor himself, Chris Hemsworth, are set to star in thriller Bad Times at the El Royale, from The Cabin in the Woods director Drew Goddard. The super secret project was first revealed last March.
The film is described as a "contained thriller" set at a crappy Lake Tahoe motel in the 1960s. The characters include a vacuum cleaner salesman, two female criminals, a male cult leader, a desk clerk and an African-American singer. THR broke the news, while The Tracking Board adds that Beyoncé is being sought to play the singer role, while Tom Holland was offered a part but passed on it.
This would be a reunion for Godard and Hemsworth who worked together on The Cabin in the Woods. Filming would begin in January, when Hemsworth should be between Marvel commitments.
