Rohan Campbell Cast in Silent Night, Deadly Night Reboot

Rohan Campbell, best known for his roles in Halloween Ends and The Monkey, has been cast in the lead role as troubled Billy Chapman. As reported by Bloody Disgusting-

Bloody Disgusting can exclusively report this afternoon that Rohan Campbell, who memorably played Corey Cunningham in David Gordon Green’s Halloween Ends, has been cast in the iconic role of Billy Chapman for our upcoming Silent Night, Deadly Night reboot! Campbell steps into a role previously played by Robert Brian Wilson in the original Silent Night, Deadly Night, who donned the bloody Santa suit back in the 1980s.

Additionally, Ruby Modine has signed on to play Pamela alongside Campbell. In addition to playing Lori Spengler in both Happy Death Day and its sequel Happy Death Day 2U, Modine also starred in 2019’s Satanic Panic and 2023’s Fear. Outside the horror genre, Modine’s credits include “Shameless,” American Desert, and The Survivalist.

The reimagining of director Charles E. Sellier Jr.’s original 1984 slasher classic, Silent Night, Deadly Night centers on a young boy who witnesses the murder of his parents at the hands of a man dressed as Santa, only to grow up and become a killer himself. Haunted by trauma and fuelled by a twisted sense of justice, he puts on the Santa suit and punishes the naughty.

Mike P. Wilson (V/H/S/85) will be writing and directing the upcoming film with the original film's producers Scott Schneid and Dennis Whitehead on board to produce. New Dimension’s Jamie R. Thompson (Old Henry, Gunslingers), Rebel 6’s Erik Bernard, and White Bear Films’ Jeremy Torrie will also produce with executive producers Steven Schneider (Insidious), and Anthony Masi (Halloween: 25 Years of Terror, Unknown Dimension).

Brandon Hill & Brad Miska (Terrifier 3) will oversee for Cineverse and will executive produce alongside Erick Opeka and Yolanda Macias, Bondit Media Capital’s Matthew Helderman and Luke Taylor. Distribution outside of North America is being handled by Sixth Dimension, the new genre label of StudioCanal.

The upcoming slasher looks to blend psychological horror, brutal slasher thrills and a touch of the supernatural and, shockingly, a sprinkle of romance. The new film hopes to deliver a modern new take on the ultimate holiday nightmare.
