LOS ANGELES (Hollywood Reporter) - Aaron Stanford, Kathleen Quinlan, Ted Levine and Vinessa Shaw are set to star in "The Hills Have Eyes," a remake of the 1977 Wes Craven horror.
The Fox Searchlight project is headed for a shoot in Morocco this month. The film will be directed by Frenchman Alexandre Aja, whose thriller "High Tension" just opened in North America; Craven will serve as a producer.
The story follows a vacationing family that makes a wrong turn in the desert and is terrorized by a cannibalistic clan.
Levine and Quinlan play the heads of the hapless family, Shaw plays one of their daughters and Stanford her husband.
Fox Searchlight picked up the project after it was shelved by Dimension Films, which already had set it up with Aja directing from a script he co-wrote with Gregory Levasseur.
Levine is a series regular on USA Network's "Monk" and recently completed shooting "Memoirs of a Geisha." Quinlan's recent credits include the A&E movie "The Riverman" and the Lifetime TV movie "Perfect Match."
After "The Hills Have Eyes," Stanford will segue into 20th Century Fox's "X-Men 3," in which he will reprise his role as Pyro in the franchise. Shaw most recently starred in "Melinda and Melinda." Her credits include "40 Days and 40 Nights" and "Eyes Wide Shut."
